I initially got the 13 series, got a 14 series as the warranty replacement. Even with updated bios firmware the 14 series also began suffering from the same instability issues, sooner than the 13. Switched after that because two chips in a row, different generations is not a small mistake. Just happy I didn’t have to pay for that 14 series only to see it have the same problem
That is insane. I know that’s what’s been happening because I’ve both seen it in the news and in the real world through work yet I still struggle to comprehend that this is what’s actually happening with these processors
Yeah it was highly disappointing. I’d always used Intel CPUs just because I picked one chipset and stuck with it. I even put up with the instability issues from the 13 for a while. At first I figured something else in the PC was dying on me. Until it reached a point where I literally couldn’t run certain applications because it would always crash that the news articles started coming out about the chip issues.
