Key Takeaways:

If you or someone you know has had any system instability issues with their 13th or 14th gen Intel processor/CPU, GN recommends on immediately filing an RMA with Intel even if a previous one was rejected.
If you're an owner of a 13 or 14th gen, please update the BIOS as soon as you can and keep an eye out for newer microcode patches/AGESA updates from Intel coming in mid-late August 2024.
Please continue to be informed/vigilant when buying second-hand/used Intel 13 and or 14th gen CPUs as you probably don't want to buy a defective CPU.

Thinking about this situation again and I'm only just realizing the ripple effects this might have on the company's future and the future CPU ecosystem

I have to wonder if Intel realizes that they swam out to the ocean with no plan in mind

As someone who slaves away at a company measuring revenue in billions and authorized to procure $1MM per year (seriously, not a humblebrag. Companies shit money)….

lol. Every company right now is driving straight off a cliff with their foot on the pedal. Who cares about next year when we can squeeze more profit now?

Welcome to late stage capitalism. Or if you prefer, late stage industrialization. The rulers aren’t as dumb as we like to think. They know nothing will remain of society in 50 years due to climate change and resource scarcity.

Might as well squeeze it for everything left and f… off to their little apocalypse mansions in geologically stable areas.
