Hello RRedd4,

 

We found the following information about your inquiry:

 

"All known processor errata are documented in the Specification Update document for the processor family.

 

SKX87 ("Use of VMX TSC scaling or TSC offsetting will result in corrupted Intel

PT packets") is one of the errata of the 1st Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors.

 

In a newer processor generation, Intel tries to address all errata found in previous generation but there are some that may still remain and will be listed in newer generation's Specification Update. The SKX87 is one of the issues that is no longer listed if you check the Specification Update for the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors and thus is not a known issue with the 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable processors.

 

If you are still seeing the issue with a 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable processor, attach the following additional information:

  • How is the issue been checked?
  • All the available information about their system, e.g. motherboard/system, OS, software or workload type, of processors, etc."
