No tech company is going to announce every single wafer that’s ever been etched and reworked or has some random process problem that causes a discard or a batch failure. It happens constantly, 10-20% of chips being rejects or salvages is a good outcome.
- adgjlsfhk1 2y agothey don't need to announce it if they are rejects, but if you ship those chips out to customers (which they did), you then need to
- paulmd 2y agonot if they meet spec/are fit for sale, no. obviously that’s not the case here, but as a rule yeah, your cpu could have been reworked or something and it’s not normal for any brand to tell you that.
