According to Marcus:

there was a change in the current submits, that changes the logic, that more platforms are now affected. This change is reported if the Microcode was not updated (but fix is there).

the test is now randomly failing on both 15-SP4 and 15-SP5. I guess it depends on what machine the test is run and how old the cpu is.

Actions #2

Updated by pstivanin 4 months ago

we could force the usage of sapworker, which has a recent CPU and, therefore, the test is passing
