About the precision of rounding errors

I have a question about the CPU.
I am a programmer and have had the opportunity to work with double type numbers.

I understand about rounding errors, but I found that the same program can have different calculation results depending on the PC environment in which it is executed.
I am unable to determine whether this difference is due to a difference in CPUs, and in the case of CPUs, I am having trouble explaining which generation the difference in results occurs from.
Is there anyone who can explain?

Note that since the environment 2 PC is used by remote connection from the environment 1 PC, the compiler and visual studio configurations are the same.

·a formula
 23×0.1

・Environment 1
Calculation result: 2.3
CPU: Core i5 8350U @1.70GHz

・Environment 2
Calculation result: 2.2999999999999545
CPU: Core i7 9750H @2.60GHz

thank you for your kindness.

Hello @yuta9999

 

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities.

 

We understand you are trying to find out why you are getting two different results, we will be more than happy to check that.

 

Please answer the following:

 

·      Do you work for or represent a company?

·      Can you share the software you use for the calculations? (Including the instructions).

·      Have you tested a third-party CPU?

 

Also, if you are using Windows, in order to have more information about your systems, please download, install and run Intel® System Support Utility for Windows. Make sure you check “Everything” before you scan, then save the report and attach it to your response.

 

If not, we have the Intel® System Support Utility for the Linux* Operating System.

 

Best regards,
