Not only that, but I don’t think stability issues like this would’ve been known around or shortly after launch, so Intel (likely unknowingly) got to mislead consumers and reviewers into thinking that their 13th/14th HEDT processors were close to competitive with AMD’s, when they were anything but. It’s never been more apparent how stagnant Intel truly has become, and that’s already been a trope for years.

Nice one Intel. My next computer certainly will not contain an Intel CPU.
I wish someone would start making desktop motherboards with socketed RISC-V and ARM CPUs.

Why I chose AMD in 2019.

Socketed risc v wouldn’t be worth much right now but snapdragon I could see getting socketed at some point.

That would be great for a server, but 1.7GHz is a bit slow for a desktop.

AMD stock should have gone through the roof on this news.
qaz@lemmy.world 1 month ago
AMD has gone down 13% this week. Intel went up today.
just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 month ago
No clue why. AMD is killing it right now, and they’re just slaughtering Intel’s positions in the market for the next number of years.

I think insiders already knew about this problem. It would explain why the stock has been dropping over the past few months.

This is actually good for Intel, if they think that they can actually fix the problem in microcode.
sploosh@lemmy.world 1 month ago
They can keep the problem from starting, but any processors that are already impacted need to be RMA’d
SeaJ@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Level1Tech looked a good amount into it and he’s not convinced microcode updates, which they have released many, will fix the issue.
floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
They won’t, since Intel has quietly admitted now that there is an oxidization issue too.

"Gamers Nexus, on the other hand, thinks the issue is more deep rooted and originates from a foundry-level fault."
That’s a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.
wjs018@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Intel confirmed on reddit that oxidation did impact some chips.
More than one thing can be wrong at the same time, so everybody can be right!

Steve does go on, and on, and on, and on… Quite challenging, if you have a tight deadline.

For most of their videos you can just play it in the background.
But that said, why are you watching any youtube videos if you have a “tight deadline”?
