In my opinion:
I think the Intel CEO had other reasons to be praying. Intel has very serious problems unfolding that may lead to their most recent two generations of desktop i9 / i7 product ( possibility of laptop and server getting into the mix too) getting recalled or patching microcode to run significantly below advertised spec.
If this plays out, a class action from consumers and potentially lawsuits from system integrators whom would likely also have have higher than expected system warranty claims may transpire. Also the upcoming gen for Intel is still looking anemic compared to competition, discrete graphics division is appearing to be inching closer to shutdown, the fabs are not price competitive with Intel's current designs compared to amd's price per unit cost at TSMC. All of that together means Intel will have a hard time selling their next gen CPU at a competitive price to performance point while still making a profit.
I think I'm going to go Occam's razor and assume that a morning tweet today has much more to do with Intel stocks being down about 10% right out of the gate after the overnight markets stopped trading...... Just like practically every other major stock.
We are starting the largest market crash of our lifetimes. Quite possibly in history.
Been preparing for years as many here have. Hope we're ready and can help others while making it ahead in the new world. Good luck everyone.
I would not say significantly under spec; in fact, they were shoving higher voltages through their components than they needed to be. Performance appears to be mostly close to the same, although it's tough to say. GN has some videos on it I'll probably look at soon.
Of course, the problems happening are even more than just the amount of electricity being jammed into the components as we can see with low power laptop units having the issues.
The patching of the microcode is less of an issue than the fact that it took like two years to do it, and they will not honor warranties or issue recalls.
This is on the heels where the Ryzen architecture had a REALLY good competitive run with the X3D CPUs, and did so at lower energy costs and cooler thermals than their competition, who were also underperforming at higher price points from the start.
Class action lawsuits need to happen, and I sure as hell would be signing up for it too. Intel's bottom line needs to hurt for this, because rushing products like this every year or two just to stay ahead of their competition (who, IIRC, was the victim of espionage from either Nvidia or Intel to begin with 5-10 years back? Don't remember) is not feasible when you don't have your consumers' backs.
I wonder if they set it higher for benchmarks and then someone forgot to update the release models? Either way, just set voltage manually and you're fine.
They are still failing even when underclocked.
It's not that simple.
I have seen and heard zero evidence of that. I have seen and heard of zero people who run manual voltage settings have issues. And also zero people running stock settings who have actually seen degradation. The only reports, with pictures of before and after scores, of degradation I have seen are users who used Auto OC, or manually set the ratios but used Auto Voltage. This info coming from large FB groups I'm in. Just everyday users not some YouTuber cherry picking things for clicks. This is being highly blown out of proportion. An update will fix it. Intel rarely makes these mistakes. Sure, they, are thirsty, whatever, V8s are thirsty, it's the American way to hotrod it to the limit.
I think it's pretty overblown. Intel hasn't had a single issue with microcode or chipset drivers in 2 decades. AMD chipset drivers are routinely terrible at launch and they were causing literal fires at launch last time, and somehow they stay afloat. (Console deals and their ownership of ATI is the main reason) AMDs upcoming generation just barely eclipses 14th gen in Instructions Per Clock, 15th gen will beat it handily. AMD has higher multithreaded performance, but, seeing as a 6 core is the least anyone sells now, that's irrelevant for 99% of customers.
Nah. It's a big deal.
The 13th and 14th gen Intel processors are failing, sometimes as little as 6 months after purchase.
Processors normally last for decades unless the motherboard or power supply fries them.
Also, Intel has had to disable multithreading on older chips due to security issues, but most of the enthusiasts had already moved on to the next gen months before that happened.
I've been following it and am part of several FB groups and the overwhelming majority of folks answering surveys have had no issues, running manual voltage settings or stock speed. Those who used the "Auto OC" in XTU have seen degradation, I have only heard of some claimed failures and mostly "my cousin's uncle's brother said" stories. Not a single picture. Nowhere near as many as R9s that burnt up a few months ago. Which I saw a lot of, with pictures.
Nobody cared about Spectre because it was an irrelevant issue, totally hypothetical, that was never actually taken advantage of by any real hackers. IMHO it was a backdoor that someone accidentally let word of slip out.
I heard there is a very large layoff coming at Intel.
What did I see, like 15% ? Sucks
puts on intel got it
