And I personally have an 8700k in my home machine. I work in a large company, I'm not really involved with anything or anyone working on CPUs. I have no internal knowledge of anything in this area. And I'm just pointing out how the statements of evidence presented here don't naturally lead to this conclusion as seem to be implied - not that this conclusion isn't correct, or some opinion about the quality of the hardware and software involved. I'm trying my best to not involve my opinion, and instead actually stick to the known facts. Which is my issue with this story as written. I'm not sure if you're reading the same statements, but the ones I've seen explicitly don't admit fault.
