Intel’s Critical CPU Flaw: Patches Released as Warranty Claims Surge Amid Hardware Failures

Inte releases its own patches, admits the problem and has stated that CPUs can break as a result and that this is covered by warranty. How much do you want to bury your head in the sand if you still claim that the problem is theoretical?

I’ve seen a lot of threads from people with stability issues, anyway. And based on everything known now, your CPU is usually just physically dead.

“That firmware is just software”, yes, software that regulates the voltage. And too high a voltage will physically destroy a chip. Your BIOS is also software, if I put two Volts on my CPU it will be done very quickly. If you still think he has something to cool, you just haven’t been following the news. Fine, but don’t call it a marketing stunt.

Regarding your question about whether many CPUs are already broken: several people in the trade have actually stated that, before the patches were released, the affected CPUs were failing in droves, and that service contract prices for these CPUs were rising sharply.
