Intel is “selling defective CPUs” says game dev in brutal smackdown
More problems with Intel game crashes emerge, again with an "out of video memory" error, with Alderon Games advising the use of AMD CPUs instead.

Never been happier with a CPU since I switched to Ryzen 4 years ago.
I'm still on my 1600x. Works fine for me on my 1080p monitor and not worrying about the best graphics.
I bought a 3700x in 2021 and after 2 years of my computer randomly powering off (and replacing my PSU, ram and GPU in that order) I replaced the CPU and found that the problem was fixed. I sent the CPU back to AMD and they confirmed it was defective and issued a replacement. I haven't had a random poweroff since.
perhaps I am just unlucky, but I think I'll take my chances with intel
Wait, that was your takeaway? I understand cumulative frustration is hard to reverse, but it seems pretty solid that they accepted an RMA two years after purchase, reported test results, and replaced it.
As much as I try to resist brand loyalty, I feel like that kind of support experience would probably bring me back next time.
Glad I'm not alone in that take. But I also get it, that associated frustration is hard to overcome.
Yeah we’ve all been there. I remember feeling similarly about their GPUs more than a decade ago.
