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 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.
