Based on the article contents, this doesn't seem to be CPU errata. We already know that overclocking above a certain point will cause OS crashes. This seems to be system instability just below the threshold of crashing. Aggressive power and clock settings manifest as this instability without causing an actual crash.
I don't find this situation much different than needing to dial back BIOS settings when actual crashes are observed.
Exactly. I remember when I overcloked my 486DX4-100 to 120Mhz, everything would work fine but the floppy drive. It just wouldn’t work for whatever reason. Never thought it was a CPU issue, I’d just asked for it.
