Overview
AMD has identified, and subsequently corrected, a test escape that occurred in our post-manufacturing product testing process for a limited number of single-core AMD Opteron™ processor models x52 and x54. No other single-core AMD Opteron processors, and no dual-core AMD Opteron processors, are affected.
A small number of these processors manufactured in 2005 and early 2006 have been observed to produce inconsistent results in a non-production synthetic test environment with the convergence of the following three simultaneous conditions:
1. The running of floating point-intensive code sequences (note: observed only in a synthetic test environment),
2. elevated CPU temperatures, and
3. elevated ambient temperatures.
Note: after thorough testing, these results have not been observed on systems running commercially available applications, such as Web servers, application servers, transaction processing servers, database servers or file print servers.
The AMD Technical Support Center is available to ensure complete customer satisfaction, which is our top priority at AMD. We value your business, and welcome any questions and invite your feedback.
