Now good luck updating the microcode with an unstable CPU and hoping it goes through before having a voltage spike

It's sort of funny how they blamed everyone else but in the end it's only their fault.

And the root cause is that we had to overclock our chips to stay in touch with AMD... oops

I blame the influencers myself

Hang on there. AMD did exactly the same bloody thing. Burning CPUs any one?

They are both guilty of it. Totally guilty. Parts that should be running at half the power they are ffs.

In fact I would bet AMD have made the exact same mistake with the 9000 CPUs and that is why they are delayed. I BET they were unstable.

As you shrink nodes you can not keep shoving power in. Smaller nodes have tiny traces and are extremely sensitive to high voltage. This is why Intel delayed and then abandoned Broadwell on the desktop. Broadwell was very fast and very good in servers with locked MP, but letting people overclock them ended badly.

But yeah come on, don't do that here. We ain't stupid dude we know what goes on. They are both equally guilty of it. In fact, AMD are worse as they could have caused a fire with their issue.

Par for the course bro. AMD initially blamed board makers yet it was their AGESA they were using.

None of them come straight out and admit anything, and they are all as bad as each other.

they releaed that statement then later released on reddit that some have oxidation added in production they didn't fix untill 2023, whish they say it didn't cause the problem but later say it caused some of the problems.
