This is a known issue that only affects early revisions of Ryzen CPUs under specific workloads, so it's unlikely to appear in new ones like the mobile Ryzen. If you're affected, AMD will RMA your chip for free.
And AMD isn't the only manufacturer to have such issues. Intel had a bug in Skylake where it would crash under heavy load with Hyperthreading enabled. Modern CPUs are complicated beasts.
- unwind 9y agoHow do you RMA the CPU in a laptop though, I would expect it to be soldered in? I guess through the manufacturer who gets to rework the main board ... gah how annoying that must be. I can easily imagine such a process taking weeks. I hope you're right. :)
