The microprocessor is the heart of a personal computer and controls all of the operations and calculations that take place. A flaw in the Pentium was especially important, since at that time it was the microprocessor used in 80% of the personal computers produced worldwide. Apparently, flaws in a complicated integrated circuit such as the pentium are not uncommon. Most of these flaws cant be detected by the user and do not affect the operation of the computer. The flaw that was discovered in 1994
