They also said, for 18 months, that it was the motherboa… I mean GP… I mean end users fault. Intel and “The Truth” parted company sometime around 1999 and I have seen no signs of them getting back together.
EDIT: I see the pathological liars are out and about. Intel were not telling the truth. Those other groups mentioned were NOT to blame. Intel were solely, entirely to blame for this issue, as evidenced by the very existence of this thread, and the supposed “Fix” Intel itself issued. If the fault were anyone else’s, then Intel couldn’t “Fix” it, could they? Honestly, just stop lying for the billion dollar company, it’s sad and pathetic.

I suppose it is only over once everyone updates their BIOS, and the supply of motherboards with old BIOS work themselves through the logistics system and get updated. Short of warnings from the store or manufacturer, I have to wonder how many people building PCs actually update their BIOS on the regular.
At least with OEM systems, OEMs publish their BIOS updates to Windows Update and the PC’s support tool. Those should get updated in short order for most people…

they knew for over a year that they were producing faulty chips and happily sold them to people anyway
this is only over for me when I stop boycotting them, which I will if my cpu lasts the 20 years it should.

When I got my 13900k I immediately noticed something was wrong. RMA and second chip was exactly the same. Core voltages were running wayyyy higher than expected and undervolting had noticeable effects on performance benchmarks. Rather than risk damaging the chip I undervolted the living fuck out of it and just accepted the lower performance and occasional stability issues.
So happy there’s finally a fix in place…. Hopefully it works.

OEMs processed a shitload of RMAs that were bad Intel CPUs and still haven’t sued. This is just the start

You know it’s true because they ANNOUNCED it!

Wow Intel, use bots much? Nearly this exact posting has been repeated ad nauseum lately. This isn’t just bots and brainless karma farming.
These are veiled attempts at brand cleanup/management.

did they have the same boeing pr people who claimed their planes dont crash

My i9 -14900kf that can’t run without having hyper threading, and turbo boost turned off (core instability above 5.5ghz) says otherwise. Still waiting on Intel to approve the RMA

I have a 13900k. Bought it in September last year. I never have had performance issues/ stability issues. Is my cpu impacted? I have read conflicting things and I just don’t know. If it is I want to RMA it and get a replacement 13900k at least, or just buy a 14900k.

Damage is done. I’ll avoid all 13th/14th gen. Yes, I know it’s mostly 7/9, but RMA’ing a chip is a pain in the ass.
They’re getting their lunch eaten now. ARM is the future, and I’ll be switching to Apple Silicon M4 after all this time with a PC.
They sat on their mountain, and didnt try to break away from their x86 architecture and didnt try to be cutting edge.

I guess this means people don’t need to upgrade to 15th gen next month /s
