AMD can’t float either

Posted on by

What is it with floating point operations that makes chip vendors so crap at them?
Intel had the floating point operation problem when it released the Pentium processor (1+1=1.999999999 but that’s good enough). Now AMD has the Opteron and it turns out that they accidentally released a few into the wild with floating point problems as well…
