By the time Intel identified the flaw and stopped production, it had already shipped eight million chipsets, not all of which had been placed in new computers.
A micromachinery produced flaw was created in the contact between the two materials and, once the temperature measurements were available, the method was able to identify the flaw location in 0.2 s using an Intel Atom TM CPUU N450 1.66 GHz.
It took some months for Felix Hausdorff to identify the flaw and correct it by properly stating the special conditions under which Bernstein's result was valid (see Hausdorff 2002).
We hope that by identifying the design flaws, similar structural mistakes can be avoided in future designs.
