    Right now they are designed to burn out with no remuneration. Please tell me I’m wrong.

      You are wrong.
      Intel didn’t design them to do that. Design implies intent.
      They fucked up, yes. Not providing replacement/refund for damaged chips is horrendous. It will probably end in a settled class action lawsuit where everyone affected get $5, which isn’t a good outcome.

      But they didn’t design them to do this.

      Based on historical trends, I would disagree.

      AMD was in a far worse spot with bulldozer and they were able to become competitive again.

      I don’t support Intel (or AMD), if anything I wish there was far more competition in the CPU (x86 or otherwise) and GPU space.

        Really you prefer CPUs that burn themselves out due to software rather than proven hardware. Cool I have a CPU to sell you but it doesn’t match manufacturer spec only manufacturer delivery. They didn’t cover warranty.

          I am looking at it from a more global perspective; more competition results in better prices and a wider selection of products for consumers. In that sense, we want AMD and Intel to be both competitive and roughly equal.

          I explicitly stated that I would not buy an Intel desktop CPU or an Intel laptop at this point.

            Coolo the convo is useless just like intel’s current chip line.
