    Didn’t intel royally fuck up on some chips recently? I thought I read they’re going to have to recall millions of them and replace them.

      Yeah. Their 13th gen and 14th gen CPUs are flawed and quite the number of users are reporting their CPUs are failing after some use, causing them to demand for warranties or for their money back/new chips of an older but more reliable generation. It’s a hot topic rn on pc building communities, lots of people want these CPUs because they’re good but they’re extremely worried of the very real issues they have.

        ehh… i’ve never bought an intel chip, but I guess it kinda sucks if you have to switch your whole motherboard because intel messed everything up
