Another source: Intel is selling defective 13-14th Gen CPUs
Over the last 3–4 months, we have observed that CPUs initially working well deteriorate over time, eventually failing. The failure rate we have observed from our own testing is nearly 100%, indicating it’s only a matter of time before affected CPUs fail.
damn
They “have to” push their current silicon beyond its limits just to keep up with AMD (especially X3D in gaming workloads).
They pushed too far, big time.
The only right thing to do here would be to offer a full refund of the original purchase price of the CPU and mainboard to all customers, stop selling affected models immediately and release revisions that aren’t unstable and rapidly degrading by default.
But this won’t happen of course.
Man I started getting nervous because I bought a bunch of parts to upgrade my partners PC. Couldn’t remember what Intel CPU I got cause I’m not as familiar with them.
12600KF, I’m safe phew.
On the topic, this is sad to hear because I’ve been waiting for the hat to drop on Intel’s turn-around. Moving to stateside manufacturing, the developments of some of the new tech that is available I’ve felt like they’re somewhat well poised to start shifting their lackluster goals and performance stagnation.
The news of this muddles that feeling a bit for me. Issues like this, especially if they are known beforehand and shipped out anyway, speak to a wider issue in the company.
I’m glad this is hitting Intel and not AMD. The market needs more AMD marketshare. Hopefully RISC-V and ARM will become more mainstream in the next 5 years to dethrone Intel.
