According to the video 50% of the CPUs experience these issues. The problem is, as an end user (and according to the data he provided) you'll only see an issue (crash / restart) once every 336 hours or something. For a normal user that would translate to basically once every couple of months, so it's really hard to notice and pinpoint it to the cpu I guess.
GN just interviewed Wendell. I must say, the issue is much worse than I imagined. Thankfully, I have not experienced any major stability issues with my personal sample. Hopefully Intel will get to the bottom of this. If they end up doing a hardware revision, though, I expect 13th Gen chips that are RMA'd to be replaced by 14th Gen equivalents on the updated stepping.
The "good" thing - since they have tried lowering clockspeeds etc and that still doesn't fix the issue, it's means it has nothing to do with the CPUs being pushed? Hard to tell at this point but it looks like a hardware error?
