Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs get two additional years of warranty coverage
This should mean that most affected CPUs will have a 5-year warranty.
I know we're all pretty mad at Intel right now but I really hope they do manage to recover because we've all seen what happens to the industry when there's no competition.
It may be that other companies can compete using ARM/RISC architectures. The only reason the current duopoly exists is the cross licensing between x64 and x86, now that apple has proved ARM can be competitive we will see what happens there!
I wish they’d start competing on power efficiency and performance per watt. Intel wouldn’t have had this issue if they’d make a CPU that runs at reasonable power consumption, and laptops suffer because of it.
and laptops suffer because of it.
Actually, having the task completed faster saves more energy than the long run. Of course, less efficiency due to too high clocks can be detrimental still.
Are mobile CPU's even affected by Intel's binning? One would assume they are smart enough to keep this practice to the gaming and maybe some parts of the server market.
Intel is a huge company. There's no way the US government lets them go under. The effects on national security would be disastrous.
Not only that, Intel is the only hedge against China deciding to go ahead with its invasion of Taiwan and destroying the western computer chip lead.
Though IMO government funds like CHIPs should be issued via stock buys instead of grants. Especially if it's a bailout. And the government, as an investor, should be looking out for the public's best interest rather than purely seeking profit.
Getting a new computer this week, and I'll stay away from Intel!
I thought for sure it would be $10 gift cards.
