    This is worst then the Pentium 4 Incident

  2. Thewombocombo91

    If only someone would have… *Ryzen* to the occasion!

    I’ll see myself out.

  3. Well thanks amd for luring me in with the 3d v cache so I don’t have any problems

  4. sittinginthegym

    First switched to AMD about a year ago. 7800x3d making me feel like invented crypto

    Mostly AMD since 2001. Intel laptop around 2010 because AMD’s mobile offerings were either shit or non-existent. Made the mistake of sticking with AMD in 2015 instead of going for an Intel CPU but glad I remained when Ryzen came along.

    Was planning on AMD for my new build anyway, but man that’s shitty. Glad my laptop from a couple years ago seems to be in the clear (12th Gen intel).

  7. Somerandomdudereborn

    I don’t know if I’m lucky or not, because I have a 12700k, which they’re not affected but you never know

  8. SomeGoddamnLetters

    Will this every fly legally speaking? Sounds like an easy lawsuit

  9. M4rk3d_One86

    Will Intel >>insert a good decision here<<?

    Intel: No 🗿

    🎶 RMA, RMA, RMA 🎶

    Intel’s going to be swimming in deep fried i9’s

    PSA: if you have any issues with your CPU, and bought your stuff from microcenter, AND you got their warranty … give them a call. I contacted the location where I bought mine and they told me they’ll issue a full refund on the CPU and mobo if I want. Which I do, but I’ll probably wait for the latest Ryzen stuff to release.

    I thank the redditors who told me to buy a 7800X3D (a few weeks ago for my first PC) every GD day

  13. Late-Arrival-8669

    I got lucky with my 13500 processor with igpu for my server (not a K series)

    Almost went for a 14th for my computer, but then saw the intel ordeal and then saw the 9950x AMD. Will wait a few months and grab that 9950x.

  14. ImSo_Bck

    Yikes. And things don’t seem to be getting better for Intel any time soon. Thanks the heavens for AMD indeed.

  15. Quantumleaper89

    What is the issue with i9? Can anyone please enlighten me?

  16. iConsumeMotorOil

    I’m something of a 13700k fan myself

  17. ImmortalSheep69

    Im so glad the issues are only for i7s and i9s. I’m really hoping my 13600k doesn’t just suddenly die on me.

  18. MadPhatMenace

    The more and more post I see I come to realize no one thinks any of these companies are legit… guess I’ll just have to do it myself (Insert Thanos snapping fingers)

  19. coffeejn

    So happy I switched to Ryzen (3000’s) and never looked back at Intel.

    PS This is mostly luck and I have sympathy for anyone affected by Intel F up.

    Good thing this blew up A cousin with really bad luck with PCs wanted to upgrade to the best 14th gen CPU he could afford and then this happened so he decided to delay it. He is now considering either AMD or staying on the 11th/12th gen.

  21. Userbenchmark: While AMDs army of advanced marketing scammers claim that 13900Ks oxidising is “bad”, real gamers know that your P-cores turning into quartz is a sign of a quality product. Gamers who wish to join AMD’s “Stable CPU” club are ill advised.

  22. awake283

    Ive said it on here before but I just built a new PC for the first time in a decade last month. I was undecided on getting a 7800X3D or a 13900K. I read a couple good reviews about the 7800X3D, and it bothered me how much power the i9 needed.

    Wow did I make the right choice.

  23. TwistInTheMyth-

    I switched to an AMD CPU on my new PC for no other reason than that I had gotten a Radeon graphics card. I feel like I dodged a bullet lol.

  24. WholesomeBigSneedgus

    didnt gamers nexus just release a video on how amd is fumbling the ball when intel is giving spreading their ass cheeks and begging amd to go to town

  25. MrJFr3aky

    So glad I went with AMD for my new PC 6 months ago

  26. Haha to all the people chirping me for getting 12th gen instead of 13

  27. real_unreal_reality

    First time in 20 years I bought an amd processor. Went from a 10900k to a 7950x3d amd. Not sad at all.

  28. _Tacoyaki_

    Good thing I decided to go with an AMD this upgrade lol

  29. Jackmoved

    Non-indepth Intel warranty search shows that it is 3 years. So They don’t need to recall. All those outside warranty range will need to have warranties extended or risk class action lawsuit, though.

  30. DeadyDeadshot

    Still rocking an i7 12th KF, not changing anytime soon. Hitting the sweet spot.

  31. Silver_Harvest

    So glad the first build of Intel I did a couple years back was the last good gen of Intel.

  32. anonymousamongus1357

    This makes me mad because I got my 13700k like two weeks before these stories started coming out 😐

  33. Spuigles

    I doesnt affect me in any way. But I hope it goes well for my Intel bros out there.

  34. DiscoKeule

    To be fair, Intel being scumbags doesn’t make AMD saints. They are both companies looking to make a profit, it’s just that Intel just fucked up. To be fair they fucked up big time.
