    This smells like a job by the Intel PR recovery team. Not to mention the amount of data collected and published by game developers about the 13th and 14th gen failures over the past several weeks. There’s just no fucking way.

      Yeah at this point gamers nexus has been on top of the whole debacle and has been doing heavy tests on everything. At this point Steve is the only person I trust on that, and he says AMD is clear to buy right now.

      It’s Intel trying to persuade people to wait it out and still buy blue. Go team red.

        Yeah, this one report from Puget Systems doesn’t outweigh the many reports, going back years now, researched in detail by Steve, and confirmed by sources at Intel’s biggest customers, of problems with Intel’s CPUs. This report is just such an outlier. Intel has lost trust by building faulty CPUs for so long, being apparently unable to act quickly to resolve the issues, and covering up the problems to keep its share price up and dodge the cost of RMAs.
