Apparently Intel processors are dying and Intel is refusing to do a recall despite the failure rate

The title pretty much says all I have to say at this moment. It's truly insane.

Yep, it's definitely happening. Wendel from Level1Techs on YouTube and Steve from Gamers Nexus have gone into this in some detail. I haven't bought Intel in some years now, preferring AMD, but I feel bad for people whole have those specific generations. I see lawsuits in the future and those people will probably end up with a check for $6.83

Actually i do have one. Let’s see, how long it lasts until i have to change back to AMD. This could kill Intel.

I can't believe that they are trying to bury this... bad thinking.

Intel doing Intel things.

Hmm, yes I saw that! Crazy.

Ryzen 7 5700g here. I love it BUT, as my budget was a bit tight I didn't grab a dedicated GPU, I'm using the one built-in, it runs fine, I can play any new game (low quality of course).. BUT the big BUT is the driver support for the GPU, it's bugged and it does not work properly, so you'd need to update it constantly. So I'd say if you want to switch to Ryzen, the CPU runs great but get a dedicated GPU.

Using a Ryzen 7 5800 in a small form factor from Beelink. It's ok but it has hiccups at times that I never had with prior Intel NUCs. Could be be the manufacturer but it's relatively new AND a legit copy of Windows.

Intel's general quality issues since around 2016 are why I decided to buy a Ryzen CPU when I was getting the parts to build my current computer. And now knowing that if I get a CPU and it commits self-delete Intel won't help me, I'm definitely happy I made that decision. Well, that and Intel has apparently learned nothing from the days of the Pentium 4 so temperatures and power usage are going up while performance isn't.
