Intel issue might be a fabrication level defect, something to do with oxidation

>I boughted a 13700k last November :marseycry:

>It has never been more over


Leaks

  • leaker at "Intel Customer" timestamp

    • Over 8 million 13th gen CPUs possibly affected

    • Actual failure rate of 10%-25%

    • No information on 14th gen products

  • Other leaker timestamp

    • Expected to affect units from March of 2023 through April 2024

    • Infos

      • Fabrication issue where anti-oxidation coating is improperly applied

      • Intel working on microcode to decrease frequency, will not fix root cause but might work around it

  • Leaker 3 timestamp

    • Reducing max frequency for boosting was able to work around the issue?

    • Documents saying customer is purging its inventory as a result of issues

  • Allegedly leaked documents timestamp

    • Change to officially supported ram speeds DDR5-5600 reduced to DDR5-4800 ignoring XMP
  • List of affected customers includes hedgies? timestamp

  • Intel claims 0.035% failure rate in messages with OEMS timestamp

    • "This is in conflict with the OEM we spoke with which said 25%-50% failure rate" :marseyxd:
  • Leaker - "Either Intel is lying to us or they don't know the real failure rate. Until last month, they reported to us that 10% of their [production] was still having the 'oxidation' issue" timestamp

  • Multiple sources - Intel is beginning what it calls "Vendor Remediation" for OEM customers timestamp

  • "Medium-sized system integrator" timestamp

    • "We reduced out [harder to pass] failure requirements because of concerns of degradation. We're currently failing 12% of Intel CPUs during intake QA."

    • QA deets in this - certain tests are failing more often, this is why different companies are failing different %% timestamp

  • OEM source - considering limiting turboclocks to 5.4-5.5GHz to limit RMAs timestamp

  • General Platform Instability + Voltage timestamp

    • Microcode update could fix this?

    • The T series CPU failing doesn't make sense with this since it's low voltage or something

    • Potential memory Speed update timestamp


Root Cause

  • Root Cause according to leaked document timestamp

    • "The root cause of this mechanism is due to a random defect mode in the fabrication process of the Raptor Lake CPU during the via formation steps which could cause high resistance vias due to oxidation"
  • Possibly affected processors timestamp

    • Not copying all these down but even the 13600k(f) and 13700T are hit :marseyxd:

  • Start of Intel's duplicity, some quotes from customers and a quote from a Failure Analysis lab timestamp

    • Some details about ALD and how it works, possible failures that can happen during it

Imagine not having a vacuumized pc, poorcels smh
