When Pat Gelsinger promised to leave AMD in the rear-view mirror for good he probably should have also grabbed a map to make sure that he was actually going in the right direction 😂

[STKReacts]

my 13900k unfortunately fell ill to this...OVER 6 MONTHS AGO! No one believed me at micro center...so annoying

[CliffBG]

Intel really traded stability stability and temp, to beat AMD in cinebench by a few point and now might have lost not just gamer but server in their stupidity because they overreacted to competition

I remember Wendell mentioned one of the tests that would fail was so small that it could be run solely on the CPU cache.

[Jeffcrocodile]

Intel's silence is insane. They don't even care anymore.

[levigoldson]

I bought a 13900k when it launched. I spent months off and on trying to diagnose why it wasn't stable. I ended up having to drop my ram speed to ABSURDLY low speeds to get stability in any sort of testing. I could get no help from support and was told I was to blame. I just assumed I got very unlucky with a bad sample. Looks like I am done with intel.

I should also mention it go more unstable over time, requiring me to come back and underclock even more about a year later.

[melonburst]

I didnt just spend on a 13900KS but I got an 800$ mobo with a 4090 and cant get 2hrs of gameplay without a crash. This is gonna turn into a class action lawsuit.

[JStevensdk]

I can crash my 14900k 100% of the time by running handbrake. Latest bios.

[mikeoleksa]

All the back yard renovation AND Tech News, too! Thank you, Joe and Paul! Everyone does their version of the Tech News, but your witty and sarcastic delivery ever reminding me that I am at the mercy of the manufacturers and vendors is second too none. While there isn't much that can be done, I can at least laugh about it while bending over and taking whatever they dish out while they line their pockets with cash.

[christopherkidwell]

Not right is an understatement for these processors. Numerous people have substantially underclocked and undervolted them and the 13900K and 14900K processors keep on having crashes.

[Pyregazer]

"PC Canada, a store in Canada that sells PC's", thanks for that clarification Paul.

[BitwiseMobile]

I just ordered an i9-12900KF to replace that goddamn heat plate that is my i9-13900K. Thank God my Z790 motherboard can fit a 12th gen. I'm tired of riding the dragon. I regularly hit TjMax. It's gotten to the point I can't even use Unity any longer, and doing things like exporting videos from Premier causes my process to try to cook itself even if I'm using the GPU for everything that I can. I hit TjMax so much and it throttles so much as a result that I honestly get better results with my older 9th gen build. I NEVER hit TjMax on my previous build, and I actually have a better AIO cooler on this new build than I do with the 9th gen build. I've got aggressive curves on my fans and my poor pumps are working overtime just to keep it under 50c for light loads. Any heavy loads and I'm hitting 80c immediately and spiking in the 90s with the occasional dance with TjMax at 100c.

[mehck]

My 13900k can't even run stock settings stable anymore. and it's been like 7 months of light use. I don't even benchmark or stress test.

[Narxes]

Being banned by game developers for hardware malfunctions is wild!

[PRYVTgomerPYLE]

So glad I went team Red this time. I've been an Intel guy my whole life. The introduction of Ryzen, combined with stuff like this, has swayed my opinion over time. 🤷‍♂

[TheRogueWolf]

As an AMD adherent, I just want to tell Intel: Get your act together. I don't want AMD to be the only game in town, because I know they'll behave just like Intel did when _they_ were.

[mavkajutsu]

It's great to see John Linneman not only give us digital foundry content, but also giving us the tech news, he works so hard.

[BleepBlop-rhlm]

Intel pooped their pants while chasing AMD performance LOL

[kebosangar]

Damn, intel absolutely dropped the ball on this. People expects Intel to be the pinnacle of stability while amd has become a meme on how unstable it is. But now, it's the other way around. Jumped to amd for the first time on the 7800x3d with a 6000mhz cl30 ram kit and it's been rock solid for the past 7 months. I hope Intel can fix this on the 15th Gen or people will jump ship soon; end users and enterprises!
