Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent

This would be funny if it happened to Nvidia.
Hope Intel recovers from this. Imagine if Nvidia was the only consumer hardware manufacturer…
No one wants that.

It kinda, has, with Fermi, lol. The GTX 480 was… something, and it wasn’t the only one.
Nvidia does not compete in this market though, as much as they’d like to. They do not make x86 CPUs, and frankly Intel is hard to displace since they have their own fab capacity.
There’s also Intel holding the x86 patent and AMD holding the x64 patent. Those two aren’t going anywhere yet.
Actually, looks lhe base patents have expired. All the extentions, SSE, AVX is still in effect though
Me too so it keeps AMD on their toes.

Lol there was a reason Xbox 360s had a whopping 54% failure rate and every OEM was getting sued in the late 2000s for chip defects.

Isn’t the 360’s failure rate due to MS rushing to release it before the PS3?

No, it was entirely Nvidias fault

AFAIK the cooling was faulty or insufficient which burned the chips out.

Tagging on here: Both the first model PS3 and Xbox 360 were hot boxes with insufficient cooling. Both suffered from getting too hot too fast for their cooling solutions to keep up. Resulting in hardware stress that caused the chips solder points to weaken until they eventually cracked.

Intercooler + wet towel got me about 30 minutes on Verruckt

I think the 360 failed for the same reason lots of early/mid 2000s PCs failed. They had issues with chips lifting due to the move away from leaded solder. Over time the formulas improved and we don’t see that as much anymore. At least that’s the way I recall it.
