  • There’s no 100% way until the new microcode is released next month. All affected CPUs are at risk of silicon degradation by the excessive voltage.

    The are some power limits and July bios updates you can use that Intel says can help reduce the damage or prevent it entirely in some scenarios. I believe the damage is specifically caused by single threaded spikes, so reducing LLC and running something like prime95 in the background might hold the voltage low enough that it won’t happen. But there is no fix yet, so if your CPU is susceptible, running it will degrade the CPU, at least until the fix is out.


  • Intel is about to have a lot of lawsuits on their hands if this delay deny deflect strategy doesn’t work out for them. This problem has been going on for over a year and the details Intel lets slip just keep getting worse and worse. The more customers that realize they’re getting defective CPUs, the more outcry there’ll be for a recall. Intel is going to be in a lot of trouble if they wait until regulators force them to have a recall.

    Big moment of truth is next month when they have earnings and we see what the performance impact from dropping voltages will be. Hopefully it’ll just be 5% and no more CPUs die. I can’t imagine investors will be happy about the cost, though.







  • The argument that the Supreme Court made pretty boils down to “if you let the president go to trial for Navy SEALing a Supreme Court Justice, then the chilling effect of potential litigation would make the president too scared to kill Osama Bin Laden. Therefore the president has legal immunity when Navy SEALing Supreme Court justices”.

    So yes, the Supreme Court actually believes that litigating a president could literally cause another 9/11.

    Dude, you post the most L takes here.

    Countries don’t have foreign policies, presidents have foreign policies. For example, Obama was very much against the cynical realpolitik of Bush. Just because the US had 12 years of Bush and Trump doesn’t make America evil. Americans believe in multilateralism, and we will get another president like Obama again.
