I read a claim that they had gutted their verification team several years ago in response to Zen since they claimed that they needed to develop faster and verification was slowing them down. Then not that long ago we started hearing about the raptor lake issues.

I work adjacent to CPU verification, and let me tell you, those verification guys do file a LOT of bugs (and thus make a lot of work debugging and fixing issues). Some days I do wish we could just get rid of them, surprised that Intel really went ahead and did it.
