So far the AMD security flaws aren’t causing physical CPU damage, so Intel definitely wins the screw up award.
e.g. yahoo.com/…/ryzen-3000-fix-sinkclose-vulnerabilit… AMD has these sorts of flaws too, I don’t know enough to tell if AMD is significantly better in this when deciding to buy

That exploit required kernel access to begin with, which at that point, you have much bigger problems.

This problem is larger than a micro-code update. The main issue the user is likely referring to is Intel shipping defective product (oxidation issues), denying warranty claims for said defective product, then staying quiet when it’s proven they have been shipping defective product.

That AMD security vulnerability doesn’t physically damage the CPU while this Intel flaw does. Thats a drastic difference so the two are not the same
