Quote from the end: "perhaps importantly, there is no warranty from Intel. This means that system builders will not be able to recoup costs on dead silicon, but they might give their own warranty to end users."
- doesnt_know 8y agoThis would be a pretty significant liability for builders in countries that have automatic consumer protections (eg: Consumer Guarantees Act in NZ). The builders would have to eat the costs of faulty units.
- vondur 8y agoThat means they probably won’t be sold there.
- xupybd 8y agoTrue, if that’s the cost of our consumer protections I’m okay with that. It’s actually really nice to live under. That said I’ve never been on the retailers end.
- xxs 8y agoEU has 2y mandatory warranty for any electronics/electrical equipment sold to retail.
- gruez 8y agoNot even implied warranty? Surely intel can't sell broken chips?
- IanCutress 8y agoDOA warranty for the OEMs. After that, Intel isn't involved.
- bradleyjg 8y agoWhere are these chips going to actually end up? Gamers with more money than sense?
- raverbashing 8y agoGood question. I agree with your guess though.
- IanCutress 8y agoHFT
- earenndil 8y agoIsn't their primary concern latency? I doubt a few GHz boost would do anything for them.
- ShinTakuya 8y agoDepends on how low the latency already is. If you're already <0.5ms away network wise then perhaps shearing off 0.1ms from a 1ms operation could make a significant difference.
- ShinTakuya 8y agoAlso some types of HFT don't rely on network latency at all, it can be based on other factors.
- xxs 8y ago>Isn't their primary concern latency? It is, but at some point you can't do much more about the network latency; shaving off a couple dozen us, might the difference of getting the price/quote or missing it out. Especially, when you play versus similarly equipped firms.
- allenrb 8y agoBinned & overclocked i9-9980XE’s are already available though. I’m honestly at a bit of a loss to understand Intel’s latest offering. But hey, it made us stop laughing about 10nm for a few minutes.
- rasz 8y agoIllegal in >half the world.
- NullPrefix 8y agoI've got this 20GHz bazillion core CPU for a really good price. No warranty, no guarantees, stated or otherwise implied (May or may not work). Call me for price.
