Without those weirdos do you think Intel would be doing anything about this in public?

And tell us how customers that bought the most expensive part from their lineup should feel about knowing that their cpu has been over voltaged from day one of operation..

Yeah sure, calling out Intel for lack of any good updates over the crashing laptop/desktop CPUs and demanding a recall after giving them such a long time to come up with a reasonable solution is definitely "weirdo" territory.

FWIW, I have connections who splurged on these only to deal with BSODs all the friggin' time. Some of them even work at Intel.

We have yet to see

- How much lifespan of these CPUs has already been lost and cannot be recovered by the microcode patch.

- How much of a performance hit these CPUs will get after applying the patch.
