Hi,
I'm trying to using RDRAND on an ivy-bridge i3-3220 cpu, but failed because the bit is not set in cpuid. according to
Desktop 3rd Generation Intel
Core™ Processor Family
Specification Update
August 2013
Revision 014
BV54. The RDRAND Instruction Will Not Execute as Expected
Problem:
On processors that support the RDRAND instruction, that capability should be reported via the setting of CPUID.01H:ECX.RDRAND[bit 30]. Due to this erratum, that bit will not be set, and the execution of the RDRAND instruction will result in a # UD exception.
Implication:
Software will not be able to utilize the RDRAND instruction
Workaround:
It is possible for the BIOS to contain a workaround for this erratum to report RDRAND as present via CPUID and allow proper execution of RDRAND.
I'm wondering if it is possible to enable RDRAND on ivy-bridge i3-3xxx cpu by bios as the document suggested? I've asked the mother board provider, they are not sure, so an official confirmation will be great help.
Thanks very much.

I just received the information about your inquire.The RDRAND instruction is part of Intel Secure Key Technology.
This Intel technology is only supported on I5 and on I7 Ivy Bridge and Haswell processors.
Intel I3 processors do not support it at all.
