The fact that the vast majority of these burnouts are on ASRock is a pretty big smoking gun to me. They're an attractive manufacturer because they're cheap, but at what cost?
My Ryzen recently died on Gigabyte.

My intel powered workstations from 2008 have chips that are more than decent enough for modern computing.
But in reality, they gave up on R&D, Missed Apple mobile chips and then put a lot of MBAs in top leadership positions to make their financial schemes work. Those schemes did not work and they were left without technical leadership. When they got the tech leadership, the board just gave up and fired him and brought in a chop shop CEO to part intel out.
For some reason, the US admin thinks this is a good buy. You probably would too, if you bankrupted multiple casinos.
Intel is going the way of SunBeam, Sears and Toys r Us. The board failed to stop that. And failure attracts more failure.

(disclosure Intel Shareholder) I don't think they are one year behind. I think it is more than one year and for a long time they have not been closing in.
If they actually release Panther Lake on 18A this year, so one year to fix yield should be reasonable assumption, right?

Genuine question-
How does Govt picking winners and losers going to help?
Intel is no Too big to fail Bank. Why save Intel of all chip manufacturers? Wouldnt it be like 25 years too late, with Intel and its heydays !?
Would Govt now ensure parity by investing in "marquee" entities across different industrial domains?

wtf? what do you mean, they're like less than 1 year behind TSMC when it comes to leading node

This sort of thing drives me nuts in interviews, when people are like, are you familiar with such-and-such technology?
Yeah, what month?
If you're aware of changes, then explain that there were changes over time, that's it
>and how long did you have it?
9 months
>Did you do anything to it (overclock, change the voltage)?
Nothing, I just enabled resizable bar in bios and that's it
