Comment on Intel accused of inflating CPU benchmark results
AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 4 months agoIt’s a broad series of court proceedings and shit and it covers a broad range of anti-trust, this article is more of a summary. You can try finding the actual court documents if you’re that interested

It’s starting to sound like you have never seen any evidence that reporting on a rare AMD thermal safety defect is an intricate Intel psyop, or whatever the claim is.
My first comment in this thread simply asked for an explanation as to how a reported (and again, unimportant) defect in AMD chips is somehow Intel’s fault. I guess it was silly of me to expect a straight answer from AMDIsOurLord.

At the same time as Tom’s Hardware made a very wrong and bogus claim, Intel was sued for bribery and unfair practices for multiple offenses and in multiple regions. I don’t think something that has been proven in court is a grand conspiracy, especially considering that particular outlet has had some really shining moments of journalism lmao

Wait, so the claim about the thermal safety defect was incorrect? That changes everything, and it’s the other half of what I’ve been trying to figure out the whole time. I’ve been struggling to find any information on the claim one way or the other.

Not incorrect, just very technically irrelevant and misleading. The article in question isn’t outright lying, yes if you completely rip out the cooler when the CPU is at maximum it can be damaged, but they warped that into this supposedly big scary defect
