    So far. Absolute failure rates is chips that are clearly non-functional and returned, so the builder is able to country it. The issue with the Intel chips is an inherent flaw that seems to affect all the chips but only manifests when the chip is pushed beyond a certain point. And up to now people have for example been blaming poorly coded software, while Intel gas been downplaying the issue.

    This is an apples and oranges situation - its not about the absolute failure rate of chips which always occurs; this appears to be a fundamental additional issue for Intel’s chips that people may not even realise they have been experiencing.

    Except even Intel’s limits are too high, considering they messed up their microcode to send too high voltage to every individual core, which isn’t something you can fix using traditional power limits, except when undervolting/underclocking, which they apparently didn’t do.
