Intel Extends Warranty of Boxed 14th & 13th Gen CPUs By Two Years In Light of Instability Issues

So 5 year warranty in total. Not bad.

Intel Xeon 6 “Granite Rapids” series specs leak: up to 128 cores, 500W TDP and 504MB cache

It's the least they could do given the situation.

Things like that re the reason why (and I can't belive you didn't see it), the DOJ is going for Nvidia:

NVIDIA hit with U.S. DOJ antitrust investigation over alleged market dominance abuse

We'll see how this goes.

AMD should try to grab as much talent from Intel as they can while they can.

Well the doj part was in the nvidia article already so I figured I didn't need to post another one

I won't profess to be an expert on this situation at all. That said, some Intel users are manually capping their voltages and lock the clocks on their cores to try avoid any degradation. The most annoying thing about Intel's snails pace is there are processors out their that could be saved that are going to end up degraded. It just seems like Intel is trying run out the clock until 15th gen is in full swing.

When I bought my laptop last year I wanted an AMD CPU. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good AMD CPU option with a good GPU option. I ended up with an i9 13900HX. I figured it may get a bit hot, but the laptop is water cooled, so I'd be okay. My laptop was fine for a couple of weeks but then I started getting freezes, BSODs, and some of my games, BG3 for example, would just lock up. After swapping in different RAM kits and NVMEs, I ended up RMAing it. Vendor gets back to me and it was CPU. I got my first PC Christmas of 1993. I've never had a CPU die on me. I've had Intel, AMD, and even Cyrix CPUs in the past. None of them failed. It didn't even dawn on me to consider that. 

So when all of these 13/14th gen failure stories started popping up, I immediately thought about my laptop. It also made me roll my eyes when Intel initially said laptop CPUs were unaffected. I've had my issues with Intel but never from a product reliability standpoint. It was more so with their performance stagnation and later on finding out they used their position to illegally stifle AMD sales back when Althlon was superior product. This current situation is going to be hard for Intel to recover from. Rock solid reliability has always been their hallmark and that's gone now.

My apologies. We've had other articles about Nvidia customers complaining about them and their rules before and, because of that, I didn't check the link you posted.

Not bad? I'd call that the absolute minimum effort of damage control from Intel. They really should have done better. No wonder are they looking down the barrel of a potential class action lawsuit right now.

That would be great for intel to get it's foundry business really off the ground.

NVidia bullying their partners for dealing with the competition?

Not like they didn't do the same with their board partners for years...

So basically Raptor Lake on server platforms. With the current fiasco, why would anybody dare to use those in their servers?

They're also extremely power-hungry. A Zen 4c-based Epyc 9754 with the same amount of cores and threads has a higher base clock (which in servers is much more important than the boost clock since they tend to stay are the all-core boost level, which is generally the base clock or slightly higher) yet a TDP of just 360W compared to the 500W of Granite Rapids.

Thanks for the tip.  I can do that easily enough this weekend.  Makes sense.  Thanks. 

Intel being extra shady about Raptor Lake, those 2 years of extra warranty are just a drop in the bucket. Let the Tech Jesus explain in detail:

Also what I just found out about that warranty extension is that it only covers boxed versions. OEM or tray versions? Get rekt, sez Intel!

If there's anyone thinking that it's time to finally jump from Windows 10 to Windows 11, maybe you should wait a bit longer:

Here's the written article, if you prefer: https://www.techspot.com/article/2872-which-is-faster-windows-10-or-windows-11/

Some results are hard to believe.

So the Intel update due this month, will it be a pushed through Windows or will it require a bios update using that special USB on my MB?
