Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs get two additional years of warranty coverage

  I know we’re all pretty mad at Intel right now but I really hope they do manage to recover because we’ve all seen what happens to the industry when there’s no competition.

    It may be that other companies can compete using ARM/RISC architectures. The only reason the current duopoly exists is the cross licensing between x64 and x86, now that apple has proved ARM can be competitive we will see what happens there!

      Already are. Several manufacturers are delving into the ARMs race (get it?). They can’t yet quite compete on the same level as Apple’s silicon in every metric, but a few more years, and they’ll likely have general feature parity.

    I wish they’d start competing on power efficiency and performance per watt. Intel wouldn’t have had this issue if they’d make a CPU that runs at reasonable power consumption, and laptops suffer because of it.

      and laptops suffer because of it.

      Actually, having the task completed faster is more efficient than the long run. Of course, less efficiency due to too high clocks can be detrimental still.

      Are mobile CPU’s even affected by Intel’s binning? You would assume they are smart rnough to keep this practice to the gaming and maybe some parts of the server market.

      They have such chips, like N100 or i3-305, but that won’t cut it for more demanding users.

    Not only that, Intel is the only hedge against China deciding to go ahead with its invasion of Taiwan and destroying the western computer chip lead.

    Though IMO government funds like CHIPs should be issued via stock buys instead of grants. Especially if it’s a bailout. And the government, as an investor, should be looking out for the public’s best interest rather than purely seeking profit.

    Intel is a huge company. There’s no way the US government lets them go under. The effects on national security would be disastrous.

  Getting a new computer this week, and I’ll stay away from Intel!

  I thought for sure it would be $10 gift cards.
