The most blatant bug must be the POP CS bug in the 808x; Intel was (probably)
forced to leave it in for compatibility, so it wasn't changed until the
18x.
Sometime one chip will have instruvtions that a different chip doesn't have,
but thats usually a specialty thing. The most obvious example of a
non-specialty new instruction is the CPUID, which appeared in newer 486s but
not older ones.
