Theo de Raadt wrote about the Intel Core 2 Duo chip: "Various developers are busy implementing workarounds for serious bugs in Intel's Core 2 cpu. These processors are buggy as hell, and some of these bugs don't just cause development/debugging problems, but will assuredly be exploitable from userland code." Intel has given a response to the concerns as well.

Exactly. Designing a CPU without any errata cannot be done, and if anyone says otherwise...well then, make your own damn chips and see how far you'll go before giving up. Designing CPU's/GPU's etc. is not a trivial task, and anyone expecting perfection out of them has his head up his ass.
