x86 CPU CATERR panic

Question

I'm experiencing frequent x86 CPU CATERR panics on a new 2020 13-inch mbp. Here are three logs:

What's going on with this machine?

What’s going on is the system is asking you to look deeper at the software and possibly have the hardware evaluated. It’s sometimes hard to trace why the panic happened from just the logs.

For you, what is happening for the time when these are logged?

The process we follow is to start with making a paper log so it’s easy to note what you wanted to do or were doing.

08 June 1823 - run safari on ask different
13 June 0734 - chrome news site
13 June 0922 - chrome same news site

So once you have about 10 events, it will help you know if there is a pattern or not a pattern. Then we go through the Apple steps:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200553

Often we conclude it’s software and don’t need support. Always we will wipe and reinstall and test without third party apps a few days before we send it for service unless we are sure we can cause the panic to happen if we figure out what app or action triggers it.

Then I should move iMovie to the trash according to apple support, and then contact them to see if there is an update...doesn't seem like a solution from them really. – Mou某 Jun 18 '20 at 11:44
Why not trash the app and then contact them? Support knows how to walk though making a new account to ensure it’s not content that causes the crash and can feel the data to the developers, it might just be a software bug Apple can fix in the next updates. @user3306356 – bmike Jun 18 '20 at 11:54
I was getting this every time I tried to use Photos or Time Machine, and occasionally other times. Apple replaced logic board and touch bar, for no change. Found that somehow Photo library was no longer the "system library" That made Photos and Time Machine available, but now it panics when asleep! – WGroleau Oct 02 '22 at 16:06
