      You are wrong.
      Intel didn’t design them to do that. Design implies intent.
      They fucked up, yes. Not providing replacement/refund for damaged chips is horrendous. It will probably end in a settled class action lawsuit where everyone affected get $5, which isn’t a good outcome.

      But they didn’t design them to do this.

      Based on historical trends, I would disagree.

      AMD was in a far worse spot with bulldozer and they were able to become competitive again.

      I don’t support Intel (or AMD), if anything I wish there was far more competition in the CPU (x86 or otherwise) and GPU space.

          I am looking at it from a more global perspective; more competition results in better prices and a wider selection of products for consumers. In that sense, we want AMD and Intel to be both competitive and roughly equal.

          I explicitly stated that I would not buy an Intel desktop CPU or an Intel laptop at this point.
