Intel China (via Reuters) has countered the accusation that the Cyber Security Association of China (CSAC) hurled at it, saying it has always prioritized product safety and quality. The CSAC’s complaints come after Intel has had several setbacks, including the instability of Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh chips, some recently discovered security vulnerabilities, and its massive $1.6 billion loss that led to a huge layoff and cutbacks in spending and investments.

Intel China said on its WeChat account, “We will maintain communication with the relevant authorities, clarify any concerns, and reaffirm our commitment to product safety and quality.”
