Intel PR posted an update to... reddit. So check that out, update your bios, and look for another update to your bios coming mid august 2024!

tho they seem to have deleted some of the better questions about whats covered under rma, are folks that have delidded covered (guessing: lolnope), etc.

Actual investigative journalism instead of talking about cpu's for 20 minutes just like 99% of other tech channels. Quality content.

-Talks about a real problem
-Explains what he found in true objectivism
-Admits data is not big enough
-Properly digs through the problem

What a gigachad

Quick we need to throw Wendell in witness protection before the Intel hitman finds him!!!

[dgo]

Intel forgot how to make fast cpus, then they forgot how to make efficient cpus, and now they appear to be forgetting how to make properly operational cpus... Not a good character arc...

You should publicly mention that you are not suicidal in case Intel approaches Boeing for advice and business cards.

[yoboymoi]

I mad respect the person who kept playing regardless if they were crashing every 2 hours, I feel then on a spiritual level

[cuteswan]

Intel saw Boeing's crash rate and said *_CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!_*

I work at a gaming marketing agency in the IT department, and I have been absolutely losing my mind over these issues. I have built ten systems over the last six months, and had three of them experience various failures, from One of the more consistent problems I've seen has been system corruptions, where I'm unable to even run simple Windows updates, SFC, DISM -- you name it. Recovery media fails, fresh installs on new drives fail, and the crashes on games have gotten utterly out of control. Thank you for this, it's definitely incredibly helpful for tracking our OWN sanity.

[FinsterDexter]

Just want to point out this is the kind of investigative work traditional tech journalism doesn't do anymore. Thank you so much for this work!

[POVwithRC]

Good lord, the analysis and access is just swell. More, please. (Just don't get Boeing'd for your trouble)

[HyperScorpio]

The number of Intel fanboys trying to trash Wendell is hilarious.

Never stop calling out anyone doing shady business stuff!

"We already replaced a lot of customer's 13900k with 14900k and the issues don't seem fully resolved."

This statement is extremely telling.

14:56 "$1, 000 extra" for support is insane and really tells the whole story here. The part is not reliable. I am sure a lot of conversations are happening behind the scenes here, but based on what I've seen, Intel has not committed to fixing the issue. We can hope that it is due to incompetence but more likely they do not want to admit fault here due to the cost of "making it right"

Thanks for sharing this Wendell, it will be interesting to see other news around this topic in the coming weeks.

Feels like Intel wants to drag out the problem till next gen launches and play the Spider-Man meme till then

[renehoyvik]

When server providers are starting to actively recommend AMD systems after YEARS of Intel being the "safe bet", this is the point where Intel should start sweating.
Because mind-share is a huge factor in what gets bought in large volumes.

I agree with most of your statements as I work for a small SI. I stated on initial videos a few months ago when the fingers were pointed at motherboard makers that the problem could be with Intel processors. We mostly provide 14900k to businesses on premium and entry-level B760 boards. So right off the bat, no O.C. Next, we disable motherboard enhancement and limit power to Intel stock. And some board are weak and can only do intel stock power. Failures have happened in all these scenarios. These systems can run cinebench all day long or occt stability test or aida64. But try to install the nvidia The installer fails. Another way to test this is tekken 8 demo game. No matter what bios we choose, those processors are gone. Replaced. There is no coming back from this. Has happened with ddr4 and ddr5 systems.

Intel PR department: Lets talk about Lunar Lake instead. What a great CPU that is.

[matthewgaines]

The mighty days of Intel supremacy have long been over. Now they are trying not to be mediocre.

[WayStedYou]

The fact its happening in game servers is pretty crazy and an entire 1000 dollars extra for support.
