So what will fix it? Are those chips fcked forever now?
Will be interesting to see how that plays out in countries with good consumer laws
Time for lawsuits.
Still insane that this has effected not one but TWO generations of CPU. How did Intel not spot this sooner? Or we’re they hoping no one would notice?
yeah I dont see why they would do a recall, at least not in the US. usually dont hear about recalls unless the product could cause harm/damage in some way. If its just a shit product, they’ll just handle it through text book RMA. To issue a recall for something that is simply just shitty vs causing harm would mean you’re admitting you put out busted stuff which im sure they dont want to do. They’d rather just sit back, play stupid, and process warranty RMA’s until they can either find a solution or until people forget.
Words cannot express how thankful I am that a buddy of mine convinced me to get a 7800X3D in the beginning of 2024 as I was upgrading from an 8700K and was almost ready to pull the trigger on an Intel’s i7 14700K. To say that a bullet was dodged would truly be an understatement, more like a whole missile was dodged that day.
The real twist of the blade here is that LGA1700 is effectively end of life. We cannot even eat the cost and “meet half way” by just getting a new next gen chip without having to replace the entire perfectly functioning motherboard. That, of course, is a huge job which entails essentially rebuilding the entire darn machine!
Also a bummer for people out there who like to resale their hardware to roll that money into a new rig or whatever else. The reputation of 13/14the gen is now forever tarnished, and with that its value. Even still a bummer for folks who wish for the peace of mind of knowing they can to keep their hardware for many generations eventually relegating it to light duty. Sure new microcode and all coming mid-August, but for many, the trust is just not there.
Times are a changing. Never thought Id see the day when I would buy an AMD cpu but here I am
This is not going to go over well, no way they can skate around this colossal failure
Glad I stuck with my 12700k and was planning to move to AMD since LGA1700 is EOL now intel given me more reasons to move to amd
I’m glad I bought a 7800x3d.
Intel thinks people are stupid, or hoping this will all blow over with a pint, they’re gonna find out real soon when things don’t go their way with consumers protection laws, just like how Nvidia try to get away with lying for false advertisement to their customers on GTX 970.
I can only imagine they don’t want to do this because there two years worth processors at a mass scale they have to recall, and offer replacement costing them a large amount for major flaw.
Why aren’t they required by law to issue a recall?
Unless they somehow force the BIOS update via Windows Update, most people will never actually do anything about it and end up with dead CPU eventually.
How will prebuilt brands react? keep selling PC with those CPUs?
I have a 12700k since it came out and it’s rock solid, this being said, back to Ryzen next upgrade. Intel can’t be trusted. They always do shady shit since forever.
Thanks to gamer nexus doing a review on the 13/14 gen cpu saying it’s basically the same die as 12th gen I decided to stick with 12th gen for price
Man I feel like I dodged a bullet on that one
Intel core a hole into your wallet.
I built an 13500 system last year to use as a home server. I hope it doesn’t break down anytime soon…
Never buying Intel again.
It’s bad enough to screw up that badly. But to refuse to take basically any responsibility at all for it. Fuck em.
Has there been any proof of the Intel CPUs also destroying the CPU socket itself?
Just upgraded to a full AMD setup and I couldn’t be more happy 😁
And people will reward them like Nvidia and keep buying their overpriced shit.
Well. I was *was* planning to use an Intel GPU next build… But this will weigh heavily on that decision.
