I bet they all are bad. Intel just hopes failure rate is low enough to RMA instead of recall.

Another bet: class action suits.
- Bluecobra 2y agoSomething similar happened a few years back with the Atom CPUs. The downside is that these were typically found soldered on expensive devices like Cisco routers, firewalls, etc. The company I was working at the time had to RMA a ton of devices that could be faulty. I thought for sure that this would result in earnings hits and lawsuits but none of that seemed to happen. https://www.servethehome.com/intel-atom-c2000-series-bug-quiet/ https://www.servethehome.com/intel-atom-c2000-series-bug-qui...
- nubinetwork 2y agoAt least you could fix that yourself with a resistor and a soldering iron... whatever is up with raptorlake is inside the CPU itself.
- Lammy 2y agoAvotons keep degrading even if you do the resistor mod to temporarily get the clock signal back within range. I had a repaired one die again a few years afterward.
