As an 12th gen user, I’m cautiously calm. Taking off the overclock just to be sure…

I am feeling so damn smug right now going for a 7800X3D. And to think I *almost* bought a 13700K instead.

Recent 14th gen buyer, definitely sucks to hear all this but no issues on my chip so far. Definitely considering returning mine for a 7800X3D but I don’t want to go through the hassle of changing the Motherboard and re-doing all the cable management.

Bought my 13th gen i7, 2 years ago and havent have any problem with it. I guess my batch was okay. But my next build Im definitly going amd for my cpu.

Btw does this only affect desktop cpu’s or does it Include laptop?

My 11980HK is sitting pretty right now.
No need for efficiency cores, little buddy, feel free to continue making my ears bleed with the noise of your cooling fans, as long as you keep chugging along.

On a more serious note (hi, AMD user here), this is not healthy overall for the CPU industry. Without a strong competition, AMD would not innovate and give us rehashes of the same thing over and over again, while charging exorbant prices (look at nvidia or intel 2011-2017)

I love that AMD is just set it and forget it now, undervolted my 5800X3D and haven’t thought about it in a year, no blue screens or hangs

I was at best buy and saw 4 dudes staring at the cpu case. I asked em what was going on and one just looked at me and said, “13 gen bro” I chuckled and talked to him for a while but yea its bad.
