Intel has bigger problems. Upwards of 50% of their high end desktop processors may or may not have corrosion in the substrate, causing random crashes.
I've been watching them crater since the beginning of the year. Sold a lot of it off. Their stock is toilet tier price right now, approaching what I paid back in 2009.

Corrosion is their smallest problem, they overheat and fries due to high voltage, high clocking on a too compact area. Meanwhile if you buy an AMD CPU even the standard cooler included in the box can cool their high end CPU's. But intels standard cooler can't even cool down their cheaper models because it's rubbish.

Yea, I think it was so bad in fact that even with proper cooling, the problem exist. They just delay it for a few months or years, long enough for the warranty to expire. Something about the pins being to close to each others so that power can jump between them, flipping bits. A major design flaw.

Every single time :-)
Tl:dr; Intel (israel inside) has for two years now managed to release nothing but faulty processors, which fries and causes bit flips. A true disaster for a company with only a 3% profit margin even tho they make billions in profit as they might be forced to replace all the faulty ones under the warranty, which (((they))) try to avoid at all cost.
As a result of this disaster (((they))) tied to cover up, the company is now doing so bad that they have to fire thousands of workers to save some shekels. And as usual (((they))) think it's anti-semitism because some of those "workers" (kikes collecting shekels without providing anything of value) happens to be kikes.
Let intel (israel inside) crash and burn down. x86 is a dying platform anyway as ARM is gaining traction. ARM CPUs have dozens of different manufacturers as it's an open platform without any of the spyware or fuckery you'll find in the average x86 CPU.
Every mobile platform and every smart device uses ARM, all spyware on those is within the software only, nothing built into the hardware. More laptops are using ARM, heck even servers are slowly migrating over to ARM which provides more performance for the money. Only application that has a lot to catch up on is gaming PCs, but those can use AMD in the meantime.
AMD has for a long time been on the forefront when it comes to open source drivers and firmware. After all, if this spyware ends up in a government computer they basically fuck themselves when national secrets leaks out to the enemy.
Besides, most sheep will voluntary install software anyway that lets the government spy on them so there's really no need for spyware built into the firmware anymore. Probably best to just not buy the most recent product, wait a few years until all the secrets and exploits are known and until alternative open source firmware is available when needed.
It's the same firmware, but they can turn it off via a specific bios setting. That's the problem, such setting can be forgotten about, someone with physical access can change it, the bios battery can run out so that the settings reset and so on.
The only specialized firmware they get is the ability to change the required flag in bios while the CPUs themselves are identical to other professional/enterprise models sold.
The business is failing. It's selling off its actual profitable part to keep itself from becoming bankrupt. Maybe Israel will buy it outright. Israel's biggest known brand is Sodastream. It probably wants another big name.

But random crashes will turn even the most die hard performance chaser away.
