Like I said before everything.... Driver crash, CTD, BSOD, will be blamed on the intel cpu now. The part that is usually the last one somebody suspects is the culprit.
Sure, most likely. And those will be send back. Will make the life even harder for those that actually have issues as their RMA storage will flood with CPUs.
Maybe Intel shouldn't let board vendors push its products over nominal operation so that they can be on the chart side by side with AMD.
They should've stayed 2nd for this round.
I cannot believe that the great Intel (was...is, its upon debate right now) didnt know about the elevated voltages for so long since 13th gen.
To me it was a bet that has been lost.
When nVidia is coming out publicly and blaming Intel for GPU driver crashes (and other companies too for other reasons) then the issue is real and way beyond the regular failure rate that all products have.
My first 5900X was defective and RMAed. It happens everywhere yes. But this is something else.
In TPU maybe there are not many (if any) examples because I take it that people in here know what they're doing.
But of course these matters should not be left to the hands of the users. Any chip designer should first protect the longevity/reliability of its products with safety features that are actually enabled and not just on paper/specs.
They brought this to themselves alone
