In the early days of personal computing CPU bugs were so rare as to be newsworthy.@burnitdown @gabrielesvelto in the 70's, most issues were largely logic bugs, nowadays there are a larger proportion of timing/analogue issues.

Unfortunately, that overall goodness was offset by the widespread off-chip L2 cache issue circa y2k.
