Do I read the graph correctly that 14th gen had a ~10% per month failure rate each each month of May–July 2024 for a cumulative failure rate of almost 30% even with much more conservative than industry average power settings/clocking?
Have I misunderstood the graph or is it actually that awful?
- upon_drumhead 2y agoThe chart is raw counts, not a percentage > Even though failure rates (as a percentage) are the most consequential, I think showing the absolute number of failures illustrates our experience best
- michaelmrose 2y agoHow would absolute numbers mean anything at all without the percentages? Did they spend their time making a useless graph?
- upon_drumhead 2y agoThey cover that down the page under the "Failure Rates in Context" section > Everything I’ve shown you so far is our raw number of failures, but what matters most is failure rate percentages. Let’s look at total failure rates in the context of multiple generations and with comparison to AMD Ryzen CPUs.
