@marcan42 @Libertardian so why is Linux misdetecting it? or is the Quark identifying itself incorrectly (why?!)?
Nevermind - apparently nobody *tested* it. Everyone says Quark has the f00f bug because Linux detects it as a Pentium and *assumes* it does.

@pgandlabs Linux assumes all Pentiums have the f00f bug. That was true until now. The Quark is the first "Pentium" in ages. - Show replies

@munin Easy for someone with a Galileo to test... just disable the f00f workaround in the kernel and see if F0 0F C7 C8 crashes it.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@marcan42@sergeybratus also, Quark is based on the 486 not Pentium -
@ErrataRob@sergeybratus Yeah, apparently it just identifies itself as a Pentium since ISA-wise it's Pentium compatible.

@marcan42 That didn't stop people from editing wikipedia (with bad citations): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_F00F_bug#cite_ref-3 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
