Would be nice for AMD to say what is the specific problem. They chiise to recall, there must be something concrete to say.

They did. Its in the article.
It says nothing is wrong with the silicon. I appears to be a problem in some units where the silicon die is mated with the materials that hold it (fiberglass PCB or its interconnects).

While annoying, that’s absolutely less of a showstopper than discovering a lithography issue like big blue has discovered (and who knows exactly how long ago they knew about the oxidization issues)

Big blue is a nickname for IBM, but i think you’re referring to Intel

Ah whoops, you’re right

Notice how you said “a problem with” and the article said “implying that”. There is some ambiguity. The issue is narrowed down but still not explicit.

Of course there’s still some ambiguity. They’re likely investigating many things in parallel right now and cautiously assessing impact and scope. Their language suggests they think they’ve got the full picture, but they’re likely still exploring some niche areas to be safe.
They’ve given public statements on the general area of the issue and its limited scope. I think your expectations on this issue at this point about perfect transparency are a bit unrealistic for a publicly traded company.

Less an expectation and more of an ideal standard to strive for. Which I would think it’s in our best interest as future customers to have the highest expectations.
