Also PSA: Some of the intel 13th and 14th gen chips can develop corrosion because the materials used in their construction were contaminated/improperly formulated

P.s.: if you have an Intel 13th/14th gen chip, you are a nerd lol

damn i remember when long ago i felt like trash for using only AMD chipset for my PC builds

who's the trash nowwwww/?????

These stupid chips are so overvolted out of the factory too, I dropped mine by 150mv and it's still completely stable and running a lot cooler. It's like they expected every motherboard manufacturer to use bottom of the barrel vrms or something.

I think if I had one of the affected chips, I'd want it to fail while they're still replacing them for free. It sounds like the various measures data center people are using are only slowing the degradation, not eliminating it. Maybe I'd wait until it's clear the issue is not in the replacement chips though.

The high failure rates that have been reported are in situations where the chips are working hard 24/7. I think for most home users, were not going to see the failures for a few years, which is exactly what Intel is counting on by not doing a full recall.

More like DIPS Act, boom, roasted.

According to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), "Updated July 26, 2024"

CHIPS Incentives application stage: Due diligence

Payments have not been disbursed yet. The money is supposed to be disbursed when the fabs are producing chips, IIRC, and they have barely started moving tools into one of the fabs. The article linked in the X.Com The Everything App post you linked says the payments and loans were announced. One of the big sticking points of the act was the government didn't want to Foxconn it, so they tied payment to completion. According to NIST, they haven't paid anyone shit yet.

A bigger chunk of their shit earnings can be blamed on Brandon prohibiting them from selling chips to the largest market in the world.

Funniest outcome of this shit. The dude will now probaly #HODL until the stock goes to zero and Intel declares bankruptcy. This is why WallstreetBets is an irreplaceable subreddit.

Holy fuck is I was Meemaw I would be so astronomically pissed.

Intel definitely isn't "going anywhere" but to say that a 10 year low in stock price due to revelations that two generations of chips are ticking time bombs alongside tanking earnings is no biggie seems a bit too "nothing ever happens" pilled

Tbf Upstate New Yorkers are desperate for anything to help the brain drain. I remember living there when Kodak was on its last legs and it falling was a huge blow to the region.

Since then they’ve been looking for anything from Amazon to this.

What was the foxconn debacle?

No, RISC-V rising

Yeah. Their 13th gen and 14th gen CPUs are flawed and quite the number of users are reporting their CPUs are failing after some use, causing them to demand for warranties or for their money back/new chips of an older but more reliable generation. It's a hot topic rn on pc building communities, lots of people want these CPUs because they're good but they're extremely worried of the very real issues they have.
