Yeah, it "works" in that it's a processor and does things. But the "fix" they provided was to basically eliminate its top end performance (the thing that got benchmarked, and the reason it sells at a premium).

As far as I can tell that’s not what happened. What happened is that some motherboard manufacturers gave the chip too much power, more than intel recommended, and fried it.
