Haswell bugs fixed yet?

[RadiclDreamer]

I heard about a relatively minor bug with regards to haswell and certain USB devices and sleep. I know the bug isnt common and really shouldnt affect me, but I hate to buy something "knowing" there is an issue. Has a new stepping been released to fix it? If not is there an ETA?

Bump?

It's the chipset not the processor that has the issue. It has been fixed with chipsets that has the C2 stepping according to Intel and will be shipped at the end of July.

All CPUs have bugs. That's what the errata list is for. You won't find something that complex without bugs.

I am well aware of this, thats why I quoted KNOW about

The bug you're referring to has been fixed with the C2 chipset revision. However, the "bug" isn't really a big deal - what happens is certain USB sticks will be not be found upon waking from sleep. There won't be any data loss, all you have to do at that point (IIRC) is remove and re-insert it. I don't find it to be a big deal, even if it is considered a bug.

However, if that does bother you - the C2 revision which is now shipping has fixed it.

I hate bugs. When I see one I squish it!

I am also waiting for the new C2 stepping in the chipset(motherboard).
I don't like buggy units either.

jhu's point (I think) is not that there are going to be bugs that you don't know about (there will be those too, of course); but rather that there is a whole list of known bugs for which there are no plans to address or fix (they are captured by the errata list).

It is the existence of the errata list that would seem to negate the premise of your concerns (that you want the known bugs to be fixed), as there is a list of bugs which will never be fixed, so why wait for something that ain't ever happening?

Lots of other known bugs:

If you want something that is completely free of bugs and known or unknown issues, you probably don't want a computer. In fact, I think you got the wrong universe. This one is full of imperfections

Well you could do it with a computer. The release time would be severely prolonged tho. I could easily imagine 20-50 years for Haswell for example to garantee no errors. Not talking about the money needed.

Im also aware of errata, but I dont read it hence i dont know. Let me stay blissfully unaware, the media made me learn of this one
