In a civilized society, a product that is defective would be replaced with a working model or refunded. I feel like it’s way too “geeky” a topic for most people to care. Like, try to imagine how many laptops and pre-fabs, not to mention OEMs, that got moved in the 13th and 14th gens of CPUs. Yeah, we know we fucked up and fried your CPU, rendering it nowhere near the performance we promised it would be at. Fuck you anyway.
They also wanted users to know that if their chips are fried that it was the users own fault and no refunds will be issued

Externalize costs, internalize profits.
I’m glad I went with AMD for my custom PC and my laptop.
Better start calling them inteL
