Intel is currently weathering a storm of epic proportions right now, with falling share prices, a foundry service that's losing billions of dollars, thousands of staff being fired, and processors that are reportedly failing in large quantities due to excessive voltages. Getting concrete data on the latter has been tricky but Puget Systems, a well-known manufacturer of workstation PCs, has issued a report detailing its own findings on the failure rate of 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPUs—and the results might surprise you.
The short version of the Puget report is simple: it has certainly experienced Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh processors crashing and giving up the ghost but it's all been "much more muted in terms of timeline and failure rate."
