and how it is effecting us till this day. In June 1994, while Intel was working on the microprocessor, and they found out there was unit flaw in the Pentium processor. Later on that month, when they were adding the Pentium system to the group of computers, they were unable to determine the other factors as in program errors and motherboard chipsets until October 19 of that year. Three days later he told Intel about the flaw. But Intel was aware of the flaw since May of that year, Professor Thomas

The Pentium microprocessor flaw is a division error with floating point numbers; it was first discovered by Intel testers in June of 1994. Intel managers said the problem was so small it would not affect very many people, so they carried on with production and told no one outside of the company. They were right that it only affected a few customers, however not disclosing this made Intel look untrustworthy. Within that same month Dr.Nicely tested 486 Pentium machines two different ways narrowing

Unit 5 Analysis 1: Pentium Flaw The Intel Pentium microprocessor was introduced on March, 1993 that was hugely popular among consumers because of its cheap price and decent performance. Unfortunately, the early versions of these microprocessors had a flow within the floating point unit (also called a math coprocessor). This caused the Pentium's FPU to incorrectly divide certain floating-point numbers. Because only certain numbers divide incorrectly and Intel assumed that many users would never encounter

The Pentium flaw also nicknamed the Pentium FDIV bug, was an identified error in the Intel P5 Pentium floating unit. The presence of the bug can be checked manually by performing the following application that uses native floating numbers, including Windows Calculator or Microsoft Excel in Windows 95/98 (Pentium FDIV bug). The Pentium flaw was discovered byProfessor Thomas R.Nicely at Lynchburg Collwge,Virginia USA (Emery, Vince). Dr.Thomas R Nicely is a mathematic professor, noticed a small difference

Name: Ahmed Essam ElSharaawy Intel Case Study Marketing Management Question 1) Intel had a hard time convincing consumers to pay more for its high performance products. As a result, Intel created quintessential ingredient-branding marketing campaign and made history. The company then chose a name for its latest microprocessor introduction that could be trademarked, Pentium, and launched the “Intel Inside” campaign to build brand awareness of its whole family of microprocessors. Fortunately

professor at Lynchburg College discovered a flaw with the new Intel Pentium processor while he was trying to perform calculations. He had noticed that the answers to his calculations were coming back wrong. One example of the flaw was found where the division result returned by the Pentium was off by about 61 parts per million. He initially contacted Intel in which he would find out later that they were aware that there was a problem. At first Intel denied there being a problem but after several reports
