Dubbed as Skylake, the 6th Generation Intel Core processors, this bug is triggered by complex workloads.
The bug was discovered by acommunity of mathematiciansand other folks that use Intel processors to find record prime numbers.
They have found all the record prime numbers of the last 20 years.
The software called Prime95 is mainly resource intensive on Intel computers to find prime numbers.
This post appeared on an Intel community forum a few weeks ago.
The poster said the bug can freeze any system that has a Skylake processor.
This software works perfectly normal on all other Intel processors of past generations.
However, the vendor has stated that the matter isnt remote to computers running Prime95.
In those cases, the processor may hang or cause unpredictable system behaviour.
