… 100 dead CPUs is news?
That’s about how many Cybertrucks arent dead (yet) overall … tho that isn’t a fair comparison to begin with.
Don’t get me wrong, if there is something to fix they should, and ofc RMA, but those feel normal numbers (the AMD thing I mean).
I think a bigger deal is that over 80% of them are dying on ASRock boards. Not a good look for ASRock.
Are over 80% of them going in to ASRock boards in the first place?
I too had a barely year old AMD CPU go pop in an ASRock motherboard about 15 years ago. Bought the same CPU again and stuck it in an ASUS board and it is still running today. I know they have a better reputation these days, but this is the kind of thing that just shouldn’t happen.
I got one of these Ryzen 7 5800X CPUs and I was running it against a much more updated Intel CPU on blender rendering using the Luxcore engine which simulates light rays. The gaming AMD CPU kicked the Intel Xeon gold 5218 to the curve. Usually the thing is just sitting idle, but when I need the power it delivers.
