Re: INTEL Pentium 1
Apparently there's a real bug in there (or at least that famous floating point error) . . .

Re: INTEL Pentium 1
Hello,
For my part I can't see the bug despite the quality of the photo
As a reminder or information read from Wikipedia :
An exemple of the bug :
4,195,835.0 / 3,145,727.0 = 1.333820449136241000 (correct),
4,195,835.0 / 3,145,727.0 = 1.333739068902037600 (wrong).
Also : the bug was only on some models of the processor.
Pentium family processors with a clock frequency > 100 MHz were corrects.
Regards
Didier
