The potential problem affects a number of single-core Opteron 152, 154, 252, 254, 852 and 854 processors manufactured in late 2005 or early 2006, AMD said Friday. The company hasn't seen the problem in production use, but has seen it in a test that combines high processor temperature, high outside temperature, and a large number of floating-point mathematical computations.

AMD said it has added a new screening process at its manufacturing plants to put affected chips into a lower speed category. For example, a 2.8GHz model won't exhibit the problem when running at 2.6GHz, AMD said.

Crazyness. I don't think I've ever seen an actual processor recall before! :shock:
