Frequent L2 ITLB Parity Errors

Hi folks!

I recently got a 3950x and I've found something in my system logs that seem to be... problematic? Here's a sample of what I'm seeing:

Now, I don't necessarily expect there to never be an error, but these seem to be happening pretty frequently. I'm wondering if I should RMA the processor or if anyone here can shed any light on what's going on.

Thanks!

update your kernel, the errors spawned are largely due to the OS not being able to cope with the unexpected operation

Thanks.
