It feels like intel simply pushed the clock rates too close to the edge to keep up with competition. These cpus are very poor over clockers. No margins at all.

It feels like intel simply pushed the clock rates too close to the edge to keep up with competition. These cpus are very poor over clockers. No margins at all. Add a hot summer day (northern hemisphere), some SSE2 instructions that seem to really push cpus to the edge and a less than perfect heat sink mount and you’ve got a crash.

- mort96 2y agoI don't think it's the clock rates. If it was, Intel would've published information about how consumers can work around this by now, or at least given that info to their server customers. Instead you have server farms with 50% CPU failure rates across hundreds of CPUs.
- bdhcuidbebe 2y agoI believe Intel did just that in May with a bunch of bios updates for various vendors. Asus for example: https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1053456/ https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1053456/
- mort96 2y agoYeah, and that fixes some issues. But even with those conservative settings, Intel CPUs are failing in droves, especially in the data center (specifically game servers, where the high single core of the Core series makes more sense than Xeon).
