Wow, I would not make a public statement like this without narrowing down the issue and making a replication case.
Given what little insight they have now, the crash-triggering fault could just as likely be in the peculiarities of their own code, some flaw in their build toolchain, some flaw in a runtime library, etc
With all respect to the folks at this studio, this statement reads like a junior dev throwing up their arms and blaming others over a bug they can't wrap their head around.
Even if they have a hunch that it's a CPU bug and can't afford to prove it, a more professional approach would be to perform the hardware change to AMD and toss out a more curious and less authoritative statement -- "Anybody else seeing more crashes on these processors? Have you figured out what from?" vs "These are broken and should be recalled".

- jeffbee 2y agoYour comment and the rest of these are making me imagine one of those bell curve memes: Idiot: There's something wrong with this CPU Midwit: Nooo it's never the CPU if you think it's the CPU you must be a junior dev Genius: There's something wrong with this CPU
- swatcoder 2y agoThat's definitely a real curve. And there could certainly be a CPU issue here. My critique is mostly about them trying to make such a strong statement about it with little specific evidence, despite not needing to make a statement at all.
