Intel is committed to making this right with our customers
Honestly I don't really care what the issue is or who's fault it is at the end of the day this is all I really wanted to hear from intel..... Shame it took so long and some pressure from media for them to finally just say what they should have said months ago. Now just make good on this promise.
I get that a company wants to know for sure they actually have a fix before saying anything and saying something wrong could hurt the bottom line but damn a simple we are looking into these reports and taking this serious we stand by the quality of our products or something wouldn't have killed them.
I'm going into conspiracy now. Please don't resuscitate.
Which is easier for Intel:
A) Microcode is wrong and burning up CPUs
B) manufacturing defect that would account for millions of CPUs recalled.
Of course it is a "Microcode" issue
Yeah this is 100% the fix I figured was coming. I still have a lot of questions I would love to ask intel not that they would actually answer them but as long as they make good on what was said above and not say the cpu is only intended to be run at 125w not the 250w everyone tested them at that was default I'm good. Now if they start making excuse after excuse it will be 2-3 generations of them doing better before I feel ok buying one of their processors.
I feel bad for reviewers, what do they say. "these processors are fast but use them at your own risk of degradation" smh. We probably won't know for at least 6 months maybe longer if the fix actually worked.
Maybe he has already, but I would love to know
@W1zzard thoughts on all this he has to review them and objectively recommend or not recommend them at the same time it's probably best he separate himself from this as much as possible but I can see the comment sections now on any intel product he recommends which isn't a thing a reviewer should even have to consider.
