Gamers Nexus is talking to one big PC manufacturer (my guess is Dell) that is seeing failure rates of 10-25% for specific SKUs: https://youtu.be/gTeubeCIwRw?t=527&si=YzpDzI2IyadzQYid

Not fully confirmed yet, but that sounds really bad. It seems like it also hits low power models like the 13900T, which would imply this isn't just a voltage issue from auto overclocking.

Yeah this is still second hand information though and there isn’t any data still. There may be confounding factors.

Lots of speculation that is all.

Someone (at intel) needs to get an incident management process around this and start doing some proper comms.

For sure they already have a team working on it for month. I think it's that bad that they don't talk about it yet.

Corporates have learned not to say anything about stuff because it turns into YT influencer fuel rather than rational analysis.

We can only get second hand info

YT influencers can publish their sources and data.

This is like saying politicians can publish their lobbyists.
