I mean, high tech manufacturers have products with issues. Even recently AMD chips were frying due to bad motherboard firmware this generation.

What matters is how well the company responds to the issue, how fast and easy their recall of the defective parts is, and

Sorry, I’ve just been told Intel isn’t doing a recall and has told everyone to just talk to the support chatbots, which will totally not reject your RMA request this time they swear.

So uh nevermind, don’t buy Intel.
