This is crazy to me that this kind of behaviour isn’t found during testing. A big part of your market is gaming, you know well that famous YouTubers will stress test the shit out of your chips and still, these issues are on two gen of chips.
At this point, this has to be a known issue at Intel, a critical one, but they still ship the chip.

I’m wondering if this is a “teaching to the test” situation. As in, Intel knows what benchmarks people/youtubers use, and optimize only for those synthetic tests. So if you run the expected tests it performs as advertised, but real world applications push outside the use cases the synthetic tests execute, and are falling on their face.
This is exactly what happened with VW’s Dieselgate scandal. They taught their cars to perform well on the synthetic tests only to produce the desired results irrespective of real world conditions and results.

Mate, boeing made planes where the „doors” fall off.
Corporations just don’t give a fuck anymore. We’ll bring them their money in our teeth anyway.
Never have. Maybe once they thought that shame or illegal activity would cut into their profits too much.

Probably that is true, but the issue isn’t happening in edge cases, it’s people using their cpu.
So that’s dumb that they let that slide.
No argument at all on that. It was dumb of VW too.
