with "secret" drivers - they can easily hide them. AFAIK at least half of
their driver code are to do workaround of their hardware bugs.
Actually that sounds like a very close approximation of what is going
on. It explains why cpu usage can go up some times during use.
another example. Part of AMD phenom CPUs have TLB cache bug - actually

But - this CPUs are still available for sale. not as "broken" but as new.
you won't even get informed about it when buying,
Why? because people accepted it ;)
