Comment on Intel accused of inflating CPU benchmark results

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

    they warped that into this supposedly big scary defect, which is manipulative at best
    
    Ah, I see where you’re coming from now. Something like that is obviously a minor defect, and it should be treated as such.
