The SDM says: Recoverable Address LSB (bits 5:0): The lowest valid recoverable address bit. Indicates the position of the least significant bit (LSB) of the recoverable error address. For example, if the processor logs bits [43:9] of the address, the LSB sub-field in IA32_MCi_MISC is 01001b (9 decimal). For this example, bits [8:0] of the recoverable error address in IA32_MCi_ADDR should be ignored. So in human speak "how much data did you lose". "6" is a common value saying a cache line (2<<6 == 64) was lost. Sometimes you see "12' (2<<12 == 4096) for a whole page lost. -Tony
