David,
Here you go: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/33610.pdf

See section on product errata....


I will quote from the PDF:
There may be missing errata numbers. Errata that have been resolved from early revisions of the processor have been deleted, and errata that have been reconsidered may have been deleted or renumbered.

The last indexed errata for the AMD64 processor is 181, so 181 bugs have been found and published by AMD, those that have been fixed across all products do not appear, so the total number outstanding is smaller, given the age of the architecture, this is to be expected.

All processors have errata, any given one can be more or less serious than the other some are not even slated for correction.
