Intel to ship 8 core Haswell-e at end of August

Sorry Z, that was my point. The Errata makes no association between the two. If there was one, it would have been noted within the document.

AVX and TSX are different. In fact, TSX isn't available on most every CPU anyway. It was a select few that were going to have it enabled, like Devil's Canyon most recently. The other desktop Haswell's never had it in the first place, but you can do AVX all day long. Since TSX is not widely available, even when they thought it worked, it was never programmed into anything BOINC-related. TSX is an instruction set and specific TSX instructions must be used in the program or TSX is never used at all. It's not something the CPU can decide to use on it's own. And as i said, since an extremely few processors ever supported it in the first place, nothing was ever coded for TSX. AVX, yes. TSX, no.

Thanks for the clarification everyone, and sorry Zombie if I mislead anyone with that post, it was more of a question on my end if they were the same thing or not, but I can see I wasn't very clear. I had read a comment from someone on Anandtech that made me think they might be. Glad they are two different things! :o
