I've got a fun idea for your videos. You know how you're always looking for smooth transitions between segments? Why not use that glorious mane of yours to your advantage? Picture this: as you're wrapping up one topic, you do a dramatic hair flip, and boom - new segment! It could be your signature move. You get to show off those luscious locks and keep your hair out of your face at the same time. Who knows, you might even start a new trend. #HairFlipTransition could be the next big thing in TH-cam editing
Ahahah, 15000 poor souls lose there jobs. Meanwhile intel ceo still refusing to take Responsibility. The lawsuit is becoming more and more real everyday.
Ive been waiting so bad for steve to drop another video on intel after that happened Same with the guy in /r/hardware who has intel trying to claim his microcenter+amazon 14000 series were somehow counterfit
I won't say never myself, as Intel has their moments like the first few Core i* gens where they just flew on single-thread perf (and so far at least two Netburst moments to torch some of that interest), but I really went from seeing Intel and AMD desktop/mobile chips as roughly equivalent to seeing AMD as the only option I'm willing to throw a dime at if I need to in the next, oh iunno, probably decade.
@@StopChangingUsernamesTH-cam Yeah, never stay loyal to a brand forever. AMD has pulled shady stuff in the past as well. Always research the current products and don't just buy the brand because their product was good in the past or assume the brand is bad because they were bad in the past.
I’ve been building systems for quite a while, and remember when AMD was the one with dicey quality. I did a 13900K system for my son last year, and now it’s taking a crap. I was team Intel forever, but no more - I’m done.
Executives are seen as heartless for a few reasons. One, typically, they get positions that they aren't qualified for, only because they have connections. Nepotism, basically. And the main reason... is because they're on various drugs. Not things like, coke or heroin. But like, speed, etc.
Hmm... Intel is cutting 15% of its workforce (around 17,000 jobs) -- just months after receiving $8.5 billion in federal grant money to help bring back chipmaking to the U.S.
Their FABs are "delayed," or construction ceased completely. Cancelled plans as well as just sitting doing nothing. It seems to me they want out of FAB and are not going to honour their commitments. The whole thing is a mess.
@@GobrinDesuka well, maybe if this CEO would receive 15 million less, it would help to save some thousands of jobs. Also, according to the video there are other CEOs that make even more money. I just think it woul be better to save tens of millions of dollars involving only three people instead of thousands. Also, these CEOs already are rich and these employees probably need much more their monthly salary.
@@GobrinDesuka its 16 mil for the CEO only. When you add up the board of directors, head of departments, expense on company jets, hotel expenses and more it adds up and fast. Ofc this is also a common pattern of every big company ever. Things go south, people in production get fired, now its even more difficult to break even and eventually company goes bankrupt, while management walks off with hundreds of millions in bonuses and severence packages for the job well done. If there is trouble and you have to fire people it is not hard to take a pay cut when you make 16 mil a year, no?
@@GobrinDesuka Taking a paycut is a way to signal responsibility. It will not save the company in terms of finance, but it sends a signal to everyone that tough times are ahead, but responsibility is shared. Cutting jobs may be necessary, but when you raise your bonus AND at the same time lay off workers because the company is doing poorly speaks volumes about management engagement in the fate of the company. Also morale.
@@seeibe They actually don't, because they're stuck in the past. It's AMD who is doing the influencer marketing. You're living proof of their brainwashing.
Before I say this, I want to be clear that I am not saying that intel is not at fault here. They are horribly at fault. Rather, I want to get across just how screwed the American processor market is going to be. Intel used to have a profit of anywhere from $8 to $20 billion a year. Their revenue has been declining each year, but more importantly, they're not profit by a much larger margin. On $54 billion of revenue, they had $1.4 billion in profit. $1.4 billion in profit sounds amazing, but that is a profit margin of about two or three percent. That's horrible. The reason this is horrible when you have such a low profit margin is that there is such a small margin of error. Making $1.4 billion on $2 or $3 billion in revenue is awesome. Making $1.4 billion or $1.6 billion on $54 billion in revenue is terrible because any very small deviation will set you off path to losing insane amounts of money. I can't find exact numbers on how many of these processors Intel sold, or average price. So I'm just going to pull some figures Out of thin air to demonstrate the point. Let's say the global PC market is about 200 million PCs a year. Let's assume that Intel has 50% market share and that these processors are $100 each. These are very conservative numbers. This would come out to somewhere around $1 billion in refunds. If they're making $1.6 billion in net profit last year before that $8 billion, year before that $20 billion, they are on their way to being negative $5 or negative $10 billion given the declining revenue and their horribly declining reputation. It's easy to imagine the refunds for this being in the range of one to five billion dollars if they were to actually take full accountability and responsibility. Having one year's worth of refunds or RMA's be worth multiples of your net profit as your revenue and net profit is declining by leaps and bounds each year means Intel not being a company a few years from now if they don't play their cards right. I 100% believe that Intel should be held to task and held accountable and responsible for every single defective product they sold to a customer. That is the only right answer, and it is what must be done. At the same time, this is not just something that is bad for Intel. This is also going to be bad for us when one of the major American processor companies potentially goes out of business. Surely there would be some venture capital firm or bank or a large investor that purchases the company for scraps like vultures, but during that time period the company is likely not going to be keeping up to date and being competitive or able to be competitive with their offerings, which means that other companies making processors (which for desktops and laptops are few and far between) Now have the luxury of playing the game on easy mode. I can see other companies beating Intel, ARM stuff in the laptop arena with Apple's processors and AMD and every other arena. But the reason that they have to stay on top is because they realize that if they get lazy, that Intel will eat their lunch. That pressure on other manufactures going away is not good for the consumer As it allows other companies to get lazier with what they are building. Again, I am not saying this to say that Intel should not take responsibility. They should have to take the same amount of responsibility that I have in the past when I realized that I had defective parts that I put in customer devices. The only acceptable thing when I figured this out was to email and phone call each and every one of them and offer them a replacement along with a warranty that was extended several years past the one-year warranty that we offer. Nothing short of this would be acceptable, and my customers who have received these emails know what I'm talking about. If you only respond to the issue or admit there is an issue once your customers are already fully aware of it, it doesn't matter because that means your intention was to try and pretend it wasn't there to get around taking responsibility financially all along. The only right thing to do is to help your customers before they even realize there is an issue. But even if Intel takes full accountability and responsibility for this, which they damn well better, this is not only going to hurt Intel. We're talking about tens of billions of dollars of societal resources that have been completely wasted on this, and that is going to affect everyone because of Intel's mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when it comes to design, and as long as you are open to admitting Your mistakes, it is forgivable. Yet the ramifications of this mistake might end up not only hurting intel, but seriously harming consumers for several years to come. You can't have tens of billions of dollars get lit on fire and have that, not have ripple effects throughout the industry. Because those tens of billions of dollars represent wasted silicon, wasted engineering time, wasted fabrication. Even if Intel does fully cover every single customer, no BS, no excuses, releases a full recall program, I am still sad for the fact that this happened as it is going to negatively affect the industry for years to come in the form of higher prices, less competition, and shittier processors across the board.
While intel only reports a profit of 1.4 Billion, this is due to them shuffling money around and Stock buybacks to inflate stock price and everything else these garbage companies due to reduce their 'profit' on paper so they dont have to pay as much in Taxes. Since taxes are based on reported income. Im surprised that Rossman didnt point this out at all as he would be aware more then most about how this works.
THIS IS CRAZY! im the guy that posted on asus forums about the microcode temperature change! i thought i was going crazy about what was going on with the cpu but seeing my post on a GN video was a fucking trip! great video! i hope to see more parts :)
@@mikeh6423 0x104 is an extremely early beta microcode that has bugged temperature readings. It was built 6 months before raptor launch. It also performs worse, so don’t use it.
Not accepting RMAs before is breach of warranty, blaming motherboard manufacturers is defamation, continuing to sell CPUs they knew would degrade is basically fraud. There should be a lot of lawsuits over all this.
It's crazy how well this lines up with The Narcissist's Prayer "That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it." I think the only part missing is the final one.
It was great being at a work celebration for a new product meeting a milestone on its way to being shipped, then immediately after it was over getting an email about the job losses and cuts. Then listening in on the All Company Meeting and being told our benefits are being cut/reduced. Made that party in which they rented a cotton candy machine, and bought tons of food seem extravagant. There's another celebration coming up, maybe I need to start looking for a new job... P.S Thanks for including the part about the cuts GN, Intel is failing its customers and its employees.
I want my Disappointment Comforter. After building a 13600k system, will need one. System is now running in non threaded mode, etc, justy to hobble along until I finish my new AMD machine. AMD messed up, and fixed things for customers. Intel? Yeah. Scumbag isn't the word for it.
I think there's going to be an purely Intel-Edition Disappointment Shirt. Not even joking one bit. The amount of hubris and resulting in their product quality/service train crash is definitely a lot to digest.
This year the shirt requires a matching pant to continue the list…. No! Now the shorts, the one after -> the pant. First with one long leg along with the announcement that the year after there will be one with two. And when this is done, we take care of the malfunctioning zippers and come up with a crazy idea, called buttons.

I'm so glad people 1000x more informed on this topic, are finally digging at it. I thought my brand new, cutting edge PC that I built myself, had issues I couldn't resolve. I went through hell doing BIOS flashes, driver wipes and reinstalls, editing configs, reinstalling windows, even fully replaced both motherboard and RAM. Only thing that solved my problems was undervolting/underclocking my CPU, which i guess inadvertently solved some of my issues. As someone who spent over $4000USD on a brand new PC at the height of scalpers in the Covid market (I didn't pay scalper price, it just took 3 months of checking every day to get the parts when they were in stock), I'm fucking furious at the quality control of this. I cannot WAIT for Intel to do absolutely fucking nothing about it, not issue recalls, not issue any credit, and just act like it never happened. AMD just won the CPU race because of this colossal blunder.
10 days into an RMA request. Only reaponse I've gotten is "here's our specs, make sure you're running them. We'll talk again in a month." Terrible customer service. The thought of going through this a 2nd tine is sickening.
im also on my second RMA mine was quite fast in process but they wanted a lot of troubleshooting from my side to prove its not my outdated bios, ram, microcodes, drivers etc
@@NonsensGamingIt goes without saying but just a reminder to everyone that you never enabled XMP. While they'd be insane to hold that against people now, it could delay the RMA and any corporation in the middle the wall street high dive isn't your friend.
Same, been trying to get an RMA for 2 weeks. had to repeat to them 3 times I already did everything they suggested sughested. Nothing nut crickets for the last week
As someone who works for a currently embattled, once great, America manufacturer who's CEO also received a 45% pay increase while cutting back rank and file benefits, this stuff is beyond infuriating.
it's common for decades they swoop in for often 2-3 years, make cuts, outsource everything and strip the companies asset's, and unempower all the employee's for short term massive profits and pay packets then move on to the next business after getting 100m's in stocks and golden parachutes etc - laws need to change!

@@XIIchiron78 interesting reading, I didn’t know that story but yes, quick value adds with wide spread firing and cost cutting, avoiding problems, this video is like the court case where the murderer is shown every sneaky thing he did in an attempt to cover up what he’s done. Appalling
The bias on Reddit by admins is almost universal in regards to supporting and covering for companies on communities that cover products by them. This applies to toy companies, game companies, and film companies like Disney. People tend to forget things like the Id fiasco with Mick Gordon and how he was initially buried on Reddit before the truth finally came out in a overwhelming manner. Things like that actually happen often on Reddit.
It's why I don't really trust Reddit for good faith discourse. These Reddit admins think way too highly of themselves to warrant trying to make decent discourse. Like, good job, you made it to being an admin on a niche forum. Still won't make you likable if you suck as a person.
Remember all their disclaimers about overclocking listing to shorter CPU life? Yeah... About that. Turns out they ran them at their overclocked, overvolted max from factory. Oops!
I always felt like that was more or less what they were doing. They haven't been able to keep up with AMD on the GPU side so far, AMD's newer Ryzens also just perform better for the most part, so just to remain relevant, Intel makes themselves the fastest by virtue of being the most power hungry.
Thanks for noticing! Andrew added those probably around 6-8 years ago now and it remains one of his best ideas for the video templating. I'll let him know you like them!
@@GamersNexus The funny thing about that? I fast-forward/skip things in your videos much less than others because I know what I'm getting as I watch it. ;)

Bought a raptop lake in a laptop last year. It's now a paper weight. No recall and they aren't doing one. Retailer zero help, manufacture of the machine doesn't care. I've been on intel chips for 25 years. Even stuck with them after seeing and hearing a lot of it turn in the last few years. They lost a customer for life. I'll never buy one again.
Guys install the intel tweaking utility look it up and check out some guides... you can undervolt plus power limit and raise the fan speeds so the processor doesn't get too hot. If you can I'd also open it up do a thorough cleaning and put new thermal paste on it. I got a 13980hx and I've been undervolting it since day one. Heck you can also disable some e-cores as well that should help keep it at a cooler temperature and use the power you are giving it more efficiently... got mine 8/8 disabled half the e-cores. So far so good and performance basically feels just as fast outside of doing anything that could use those extra 8 e-cores... but it's not a big deal or difference even outside of that scenario. It is what it is... this sucks but if you properly tweak your system you can basically render it a non issue.
@@PeremptorValuable tips and advice! But sadly consumers shouldn't be having to do this just so their computer works as they expect, having to sacrifice performance (which was a main selling point) just to keep the chip from frying itself is still disgraceful
@@Peremptor Thanks for the tip but mine is too far gone. It basically has to run at a tenth of the power to not bsod everywhere. If it wasn't a laptop I would just buy a new one and wait for the updates but it's past the point of no return. I've already built AMD for new desktop since I was due there. My old skylake was also overheating. It's time to wash my hands of intel. Lesson learned.
Any Aussies reading the comments.... if this effects you PLEASE contact the ACCC. The way the Australia consumer protection watchdog is setup its very difficult for it to launch an investigation until a victim complains. And the ACCC REALLY needs to step in here.
Just got myself a 12900ks for $499 aud, I am guessing since people will be staying away from 13900s and 14900s now is the best time to sell the older i9 😂
Aussie here....is there a specific email address to use or reference of existing submission we can quote. Just worried that unless there is avalanche of submissions they may treat individual complaints as blip as they don't make the connection.
I believe that 13/14th gen processors should be pulled from the shelves of sellers so users can't buy a defective product and get rejected by RMA. This has got to be illegal. Faulty products should not be for sale without user accessible refunds!
I remember AMD coming out with the bulldozer CPU (faildozer) and ever since then, they have been rising tremendously. It has been a complete swap between intel and AMD, it’s really incredible how that happened. Very thankful I chose AMD for my workstation build.
@LaiosKnight I remember when Dr Sue took the stage and basically said "we messed up, bulldozer has failed, we are going back to the drawing board and start from scratch". It takes a lot of courage to admit failure, especially if the whole world is watching. She, and with her AMD as a whole, gained a ton of respect by that move.
Intel: "Our policy remains in place" Consumer: "Whats the policy?" Intel: Our policy is "Sorry an error occurred please try again later, please note do not respond to this email, if your ticket isn't updated in 3 hours it will be closed.

I absolutely root for you keeping your job, but if the corpo shills decide otherwise, please think that it's probably a better outcome for you in the long run.
Good luck mate, sorry for the feelings of instability brought on to you. Get out ahead of it and quietly get your resume out on the job market now. Searching is not committing, it’s just smart and practical. That’s what I’m doing.
As someone who couldn't emotionally handle the first round of CPM and layoffs last year at Intel, it took me about 6 months to get an offer elsewhere. Best to update your resume and start looking now if you're not already since it might take some time, just in case. Also, likely anywhere else you go now will be a lot better, whether it's Qualcomm, AMD, Apple, NVIDIA, Samsung, etc. Wishing you all the best.

Intel tried to blame motherboard manufacturers for doing something that has been a standard practice in the industry for around 2 decades. And other tech influences backed them up. But we knew it was BS. Thanks Steve.

@@hung8969intel fucked up by not giving clear guidance on what manufacturers can do with CPUs out of the box in their mobos, that's on them, but mobo manufacturers are also to blame for pushing the CPUs too far, it's not complicated, only somebody biased would suggest mobo manufacturers aren't also partly at fault, sure not as much as Intel, far from it, but still partly at fault.
The CEO needs to be replaced ASAP. Cutting 15,000k jobs while retaining the CEO is just insane. Building an AMD system this last time around has been a great decision. Officially an AMD Fanboy now. lol
So let me get this correct. CEO and the boardmembers made terrible decisions. Consequence result in regular joes losing their job while CEO and board members get a payout. I...don't understand how any of this is legal.
That sabbatical change is actually huge, it's always been 8 weeks every 7 years (with an option for 4 weeks at 4 years instead, introduced about ten years ago), so this is halving the benefit, functionally removing about 3 working days a year of paid vacation. The use it or lose it change is just a reduction from 3 years to 2 which isn't as big a deal (but could make it more difficult for some large teams to schedule their time off around each other as easily).
If you search Intel Sabbatical Program their public facing US benefits website still has the current plan up at least as of this moment (can't post links on YT). To quote the relevant section: "A hallmark of Intel is our extraordinary sabbatical program established over 30 years ago. Sabbaticals give employees the option to celebrate their fourth anniversary at Intel with four weeks off with full pay, or their seventh with eight weeks-all in addition to regular vacation time."
I retired several years back but still have friends working there; I'm interested in hearing from them how they feel about this, and wonder when it will be implemented and how (if it's effective immediately, imagine being 6.5 years into your 7 year wait and looking forward to 8 weeks off soon that just became 4).
@@Xiuhtecas you used to work at Intel I'm sure you know they'll probably put some stipulations up where if you're in your 6th or 7th year you get the old plan or something. My Dad used to work there as a blue badge in Hillsboro Oregon. He got laid off during the last huge layoff I don't know 12 years ago? They paid him his entire sabbatical even though he wasn't there yet along with quite a few other things so I don't think they'll just screw their current employees like that. They are usually pretty fair

Intel's strategy worked phenomenally. They posted an article blaming motherboard manufacturers for high voltage causing CPU degradation, then waited for tech journalists to run the headline before admitting that the real issue is a silicon-level defect. The microcode and BIOS updates certainly look like band-aid fixes, meant to delay the flaw from presenting until the warranty expires.
Not defending Intel, but it is possible that they investigated the issue finding genuine motherboard issues. And while clearly that was not the root cause Intel may not have known that at the time.
Whats the best part about GN? Their moral and willingness to "intel" all their bridges doing videos like this. I just wish there was more that would stick their neck out and stand up to these insane comapnies, while still keeping it all clean AND at the same time almost making comedy out of this tragedy.

One good thing coming out of this might just be a larger mass of users trying AMD CPUs for the first time and realizing they're not as bad as they thought.
The ole' mass layoff. Upper mangement fails, they cut thousands of jobs (many of which would be better leaders), paint it as a stock holder/money savings thing. CEO parachutes out to redo it all again sonewhere else. Corporate playbook 101. Abolish the C-suite. Most pay with the least skin in the game.
Problem is, both the C-suite group and the shareholders are all in on the con, and you are not invited. And then they will try to change the government into a planned economy so that they won't end up like the Vanderbilts.
And for those unsure about how this can happen when you do layoffs you divide the salary expense by the number of employees and get the average. The C-Suite get paid exactly the same as the cleaning staff, so it makes no difference to the number reported to the stock holders whether you fire 10 from C-Suite or the 10 from the cleaning staff. The astute will probably realise the cleaning staff are sub contracted in, it was just used as emphasis for the example.
Intel may lose confidence from customers, investors, and the media due to this controversy. On the bright side, they'll always have the confidence of userbenchmark.

Skynet failed to launch today when it unexpectedly had a blue screen of death. Engineers looking at the problem are not certain whether it was caused by Intel CPU chips or a Crowdstrike update.

I wonder if the CEO signed off on running higher voltages across the board to try and approach a win over AMD. My thinking is it was something only meant to be on products bound for reviewers. Pretty slimy if true.
Something is fishy on the financial side. So they get $8 billion in direct federal aid, then suddenly announce the need to slash $10 billion in running costs, even though they weren’t in such dire straits not so long ago.
I wish we would actually know where the amount of Money is going or going through. Its such a tangled mess with Mountains of paper-work of so many different levels in the Company that its basically impossible to know what is going on with that Aid money. Probably somewhere it shouldnt be.
Corporations have a strong history of pocketing federal "aid". It's a game between Congress and shareholders. And then they turn around and tighten the screws on the taxpayers who funded the corporate/congressional socialism. Look into US ISPs. It's straight up dystopian.
It’s not that complicated, but certainly not in the open clearly for everyone to see and understand. The money is for new future processes, for new fabs, provided you hit certain milestones first yield and performance. Again FUTURE processes, Not existing ones. Currently, Intel is not doing well because competition is good vs Intel products and Intel is not fabless so still has fixed costs of operating its current factories. IDM strategy is supposed to change that. In the mean time there is less stuff to sell and therefore needs cost cutting now
Steve. They are now saying 65w and over parts only because they know that the sub 65w parts have a low probability to fail during the warranty period. The problem is still there at silicon level but does not present or degrade as quickly as the higher end SKUs purely because it's not being run at those higher frequencies, voltages and thermals. They know they are going to have to eat a shit sandwich on this one so now they are just trying to make sure it's only two slices and not half a loaf.
I never had a CPU die since I got my first computer about 23 years ago. Anything that hasen't been recycled yet still works, it's just outdated. Not getting a computer with an Intel CPU for my next computer. Can't trust them, they sold faulty CPUs and blamed everyone else.
It might also be a lazy way to try to exclude the 13th gen CPUs that actually use Alder Lake dies without farther calling attention to the fact that their website misleadingly lists such processors as "Raptor Lake" and just "taking it on the chin" that the a couple 13th gen Alder Lake i5s may get in the mix which would also explain the phrasing that not all CPU models on their provided list may actually be susceptible. (for reference, an easy tell is to look at the rated JDEC DDR5 speeds for a given SKU on Intel's site: anything with an Alder Lake die lists DDR5-4800 such as seen on the i9-12900KS and i5-13600 non-K, while anything with a Raptor Lake die lists DDR5-5600 such as seen on the i5-13600K/F, i7-13700 non-K, and i9-14900KS)
Worked at Intel for 25 years......I witnessed it start sinking over time. Internally, it's such a toxic & dysfunctional working environment that it's no wonder they're crashing & burning. So glad I'm no longer there. Consquently, the free fruit & beverage program ran Intel more or less 20 million per year (when they go into cost cutting mode, they look at everything - including other items which end up being detrimental to internal functions/operations).
@@andersjjensen Yes I was a contractor there (upper management). There was a big push by Corporate Services to improve the relationship between contractors (green) and Intel (blue) employees because vendors were treated like 2nd class citizens. It never stuck. It was brutal.

You are not going to solve the problems by "chopping the wood." The problem lies with the petrified wood, which is the inept top management drawing huge salaries and bureaucracy. That's what happens with big corporations... they become top heavy, forget the vision, get blinded by short term gains and they forget about their customers' satisfaction.
Pat Gelsinger's only concern is the satisfaction of his bank account, when after getting a $10 billion bailout from the United States government, he axes 15,000 people, labeling their livelihoods as mere "wood to chop."

Steve, I remember seeing "Out of video memory" errors on the Factorio bug report forum. Factorio does an extremely good job detecting memory errors, so folks often post complicated crash reports. Taken at face value, those reports were assumed to be too many mod graphics loaded, a corrupted video driver or a memory bit flip. But it could be worth investigating, since the number of "magic" crash reports has remained steady or increased recently by my estimation.
I wish there was a journalistic team with as much dedication, integrity, and attention to detail committed to politics. The world needs more GNs for every corner of corruption and deceit.
Those exist but don't have the resources of corporate media, and in an economic system where entertainment and consumerism are valued above information for making change through citizen effort, those outlets and groups stand no chance.
I follow many such news organizations, they do exist. They don't have as much influence since the general populace is much less informed than tech enthusiasts.

When I was a contractor at the Intel fabs, there were no hot Lots, your wafers went step by step through the line and *nothing could cut in place of it.* Those were years when the yield manufacturing defect (YMD) stats were fantastic. They've been declining ever since and it's been a struggle for them.
@@mikefromwa "Do you what it right, or do you want it Friday?" Probably there's serious technical challenges when working with such tiny amounts of material, such high amperage, voltage and heat. The high energy, high clock rate, the positive and negative doped materials against each other, must have serious effect on material design, lifetime and degradation. Intel have struggled in recent years with fabrication. China wants Taiwan, which will also mean TSMC. And intel is trying to build a new fab in USA in case of serious issues with China, shipping, blockades, and worse in the Far East. Would be interesting to see genuine experts on the area tell us about the challenges, probable issues that intel are having, solutions etc.
Employees suffer while executives thrive, this has to stop. Layoff and benefit cuts while executives get raises? The same thing is happening at many employers. We've let so many people go that we've "run out" of severance package funding (which is two weeks plus one for each year of service.) and they are now writing people up for random bull shit to be able to fire vs layoff. Meanwhile our executives gave themselves record raises and bonuses and are some of the highest paid in the industry.
This is due to MBA Private Equity mindset which is rampant everywhere. This impending market crash is going to have to reset the top levels. "How could we have known?!"
I think Execs are also at risk on being on the chopping block. Usually cases like these cause board level meetings (board members are usually external to the organization). Execs of the departments would need to present findings or lack of process which may have caused the issue. Usually in smaller orgs the excuses are "we didnt have enough funding so we couldnt do adequate testing before the due date due to headcount etc.." In this case though, Intel is a billion dollar company, bs excuses like that doesn't fly. The fact that Intel stated their labs crew were operating with a "skeleton staff" just screams execs attempt to protect themselves from being held accountable and essentiallly blaming the board to reduce overhead costs to increase profits.

Its funny, I saw an article the other day that said "hold on to your Intel stock." Which to me read "please don't sell intel stock, I'm a major shareholdrr paying the media to write this!
Retail stock holders don’t prop up companies. If you’re an Intel stock holder and don’t want to take a hit, don’t feel bad about holding it long term to recoup your losses.
The 15% being laid off are likely all engineers and techs who actually know what's going on and how to make tongs. Meanwhile upper management will get bonuses for saving money by firing employees. I doubt any management will get canned. Good year, management takes credit. Bad year, will it must be all the bottom employees dragging us down.
It's about time though, the gap in the market will create a huge opportunity for Chinese to ramp up their R&D and silicon/semiconductor industry as-if they haven't already been doing that! Apart from that Intel loses on it's own game on it's own turf.. esp with AMD Ryzen - What a shame!
Intel own goal. The people being laid off are the ones who can improve Intel's architecture to compete against AMD and ARM, instead of just chasing clock speed and throwing a ton of power at the problem.
yea, from resources to wood...human resources, human wood...oof :/, but it makes sense. Wood is a resource, I can see how they got the idea to call their employees "wood"...makes me angry. Even "human resources" is evil already. I officially hate Intel now.

Dammit Steve! I turned on your video as "background noise" while I was assembling some PCs and then found out why the Intel build (i5-13400 w/ ARC A770) I did last October was crashing all the time. The error kept saying "video memory error", so I attributed it to the ARC GPU drivers just being behind and decided to let the system sit and come back to it later on after Intel had made some more progress on their GPU front. Now I find out that Intel set the warranty extension cut-off at the 13400K and did not include the 13400 (which is also a 65W TDP chip, the same as the bar they set for the other SKUs). To put it as you'd put it, "WTF man?!?!" ....thanks for being a great source of information, even if I happen to be on the sucky end of it this go around. ;D
They've known about this since 2022. It still hasn't been properly fixed mid-2024. There is no solution. They would have fixed it already if they could. This is the nightmare scenario for a CPU manufacturer. Two whole gens affected, too. Historic. It's crazy to be living through this.
@@russell2952 It wasn't their stock price they were worried about. Their stock price is down over 50% since 2022. It was the fact that replacing every K series processor would mean having a massive overproduction issue. Let's say 1/10th of the dies come out 14900K binned. They would have to produce 10 extra CPUs for every 149K RMA, and wouldn't sell most of the other SKUs that were binned as they already had sufficient stock of all the lower end chips that would be binned out. The fab costs alone would sink them, they would have tons of extra lower end 14th gen they couldn't sell, and they would probably have to pull new 14900Ks off storefronts to save some of the extra manufacturing for RMAs they would be doing. And even then, they probably wouldn't service all RMAs before running deep into debt.
Good god, if I was a low level employee and I happened to be in that call and they said they were cutting 15-20% of the workforce, I'd have lost my collective shit and went off on the exec'c. Absolutely insane they give one a 15% bump from 11.5Mil a year to some 15/16Mil. This is why I despise corp America. It's no different than the FinTech I work for except that we're not cutting people. While $5Mil wouldn't make much of a difference for that amount of cuts, perhaps cutting those CEO salaries to say, idk, $250k a year which is way more than what most need yearly to live comfortably in the US. That other $30-50Mil a year that those 3 big wigs make would easily help to float those cuts. It's astonishing the amount of greed we see these days in bloated salaries. No one needs $15 Mil/Yr.
I stopped watching Linux media because gamer nexus policy of not lying. And now after 30 years of intel my last decades of life im going to be an AMD user. Amazing how reporting the true in tech issues can change life behaviour in humans lol. Thank you Gamer Nexus for your integrity.
They're doing the same thing as Boeing. Maximum damage control, the bare minimum amount of accountability, skeleton crews, knowingly shipping defective items, attempting to maximise "shareholder value" and so on. When will these big companies learn that doing those things DOESN'T WORK? When will they realise that screwing over customers, employees, board partners and shareholders alike isn't a good thing?
Another problem with the "keep RMAing it over and over" thing is the fact that Intel threatens to confiscate your CPU each time you do it, because they accuse some people of having tray processors or counterfeit processors for no reason.
If that's actually happening, that is insane behavior and unacceptable. Intel should KNOW whether a CPU is a tray or boxed model based on the serial number, which is required to get an RMA. Just goes to show you can't trust corporations as far as you can throw them, and even more reason to keep keep your CPU boxes.
The level of immaturity and unprofessional behavior Intel has demonstrated over the last few years is truly shocking. They have a much bigger problem than defective CPUs, a lack of an adult in a very big room.
The Fact that they knew they needed a complete CPU redesign for years and instead of biting the bullet they just made minor changes after minor changes.
@@dudebroguymateI think he tried to say add 85% to 15%, not cut 85% from the 85% of the staff left. I don't think his wording suggests the latter since he says "additional".
Like you said Intel has already decided that settling a class action lawsuit will be cheaper. Don't look for anything from Intel to fix this. When it's all said and done they will payout something like $30-$50 per customer plus legal fees as opposed to replacing all the defective CPU's. Class action lawsuit here we come.
In most class action lawsuits the victims only get like $5 so Intel is going to make out like a bandit. And of course the lawyers will get rich too. Class action settlements that don't make the victims whole should be illegal. If anything, companies who refuse to do what's right so they HAVE to be sued should pay at least 10x more than what it would take to make the victims whole.
This is a lot like that movie titled, "Class Action" (1991) with Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Except it was about cars instead of cpus. The company ran the numbers and figured out that it would be cheaper to settle the lawsuits than to actually fix the cars that could explode and kill or injure people. Very, very good movie. Let's just say the company ended up losing the fight.
Intel: We have lost $10 billion due to *unexpected minor processor degradation.* What can we do to limit these losses? Also Intel: Removing the free fruit for our employees should help!

I won't say never myself, as Intel has their moments like the first few Core i* gens where they just flew on single-thread perf (and so far at least two Netburst moments to torch some of that interest), but I really went from seeing Intel and AMD desktop/mobile chips as roughly equivalent to seeing AMD as the only option I'm willing to throw a dime at if I need to in the next, oh iunno, probably decade.

Being an executive for any company implies having no morals or empathy for your subordinates.
Hmm... Intel is cutting 15% of its workforce (around 17,000 jobs) -- just months after receiving $8.5 billion in federal grant money to help bring back chipmaking to the U.S.
Free market capitalism and the invisible hand 🤡 Adam Smith might release some updates if he was alive.

@@GobrinDesuka well, maybe if this CEO would receive 15 million less, it would help to save some thousands of jobs. Also, according to the video there are other CEOs that make even more money.

Also, these CEOs already are rich and these employees probably need much more their monthly salary.
@@GobrinDesuka its 16 mil for the CEO only. When you add up the board of directors, head of departments, expense on company jets, hotel expenses and more it adds up and fast.
Ofc this is also a common pattern of every big company ever. Things go south, people in production get fired, now its even more difficult to break even and eventually company goes bankrupt, while management walks off with hundreds of millions in bonuses and severence packages for the job well done.
If there is trouble and you have to fire people it is not hard to take a pay cut when you make 16 mil a year, no?
@@GobrinDesuka Taking a paycut is a way to signal responsibility. It will not save the company in terms of finance, but it sends a signal to everyone that tough times are ahead, but responsibility is shared.
Cutting jobs may be necessary, but when you raise your bonus AND at the same time lay off workers because the company is doing poorly speaks volumes about management engagement in the fate of the company. Also morale.

Before I say this, I want to be clear that I am not saying that intel is not at fault here. They are horribly at fault. Rather, I want to get across just how screwed the American processor market is going to be.
Intel used to have a profit of anywhere from $8 to $20 billion a year. Their revenue has been declining each year, but more importantly, they're not profit by a much larger margin. On $54 billion of revenue, they had $1.4 billion in profit. $1.4 billion in profit sounds amazing, but that is a profit margin of about two or three percent. That's horrible.
The reason this is horrible when you have such a low profit margin is that there is such a small margin of error. Making $1.4 billion on $2 or $3 billion in revenue is awesome. Making $1.4 billion or $1.6 billion on $54 billion in revenue is terrible because any very small deviation will set you off path to losing insane amounts of money.
I can't find exact numbers on how many of these processors Intel sold, or average price. So I'm just going to pull some figures Out of thin air to demonstrate the point.
Let's say the global PC market is about 200 million PCs a year. Let's assume that Intel has 50% market share and that these processors are $100 each. These are very conservative numbers. This would come out to somewhere around $1 billion in refunds. If they're making $1.6 billion in net profit last year before that $8 billion, year before that $20 billion, they are on their way to being negative $5 or negative $10 billion given the declining revenue and their horribly declining reputation. It's easy to imagine the refunds for this being in the range of one to five billion dollars if they were to actually take full accountability and responsibility. Having one year's worth of refunds or RMA's be worth multiples of your net profit as your revenue and net profit is declining by leaps and bounds each year means Intel not being a company a few years from now if they don't play their cards right.
I 100% believe that Intel should be held to task and held accountable and responsible for every single defective product they sold to a customer. That is the only right answer, and it is what must be done. At the same time, this is not just something that is bad for Intel. This is also going to be bad for us when one of the major American processor companies potentially goes out of business.
Surely there would be some venture capital firm or bank or a large investor that purchases the company for scraps like vultures, but during that time period the company is likely not going to be keeping up to date and being competitive or able to be competitive with their offerings, which means that other companies making processors (which for desktops and laptops are few and far between) Now have the luxury of playing the game on easy mode. I can see other companies beating Intel, ARM stuff in the laptop arena with Apple's processors and AMD and every other arena. But the reason that they have to stay on top is because they realize that if they get lazy, that Intel will eat their lunch. That pressure on other manufactures going away is not good for the consumer As it allows other companies to get lazier with what they are building.
Again, I am not saying this to say that Intel should not take responsibility. They should have to take the same amount of responsibility that I have in the past when I realized that I had defective parts that I put in customer devices. The only acceptable thing when I figured this out was to email and phone call each and every one of them and offer them a replacement along with a warranty that was extended several years past the one-year warranty that we offer. Nothing short of this would be acceptable, and my customers who have received these emails know what I'm talking about. If you only respond to the issue or admit there is an issue once your customers are already fully aware of it, it doesn't matter because that means your intention was to try and pretend it wasn't there to get around taking responsibility financially all along. The only right thing to do is to help your customers before they even realize there is an issue.
But even if Intel takes full accountability and responsibility for this, which they damn well better, this is not only going to hurt Intel. We're talking about tens of billions of dollars of societal resources that have been completely wasted on this, and that is going to affect everyone because of Intel's mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when it comes to design, and as long as you are open to admitting Your mistakes, it is forgivable. Yet the ramifications of this mistake might end up not only hurting intel, but seriously harming consumers for several years to come. You can't have tens of billions of dollars get lit on fire and have that, not have ripple effects throughout the industry. Because those tens of billions of dollars represent wasted silicon, wasted engineering time, wasted fabrication.
Even if Intel does fully cover every single customer, no BS, no excuses, releases a full recall program, I am still sad for the fact that this happened as it is going to negatively affect the industry for years to come in the form of higher prices, less competition, and shittier processors across the board.

Then listening in on the All Company Meeting and being told our benefits are being cut/reduced. Made that party in which they rented a cotton candy machine, and bought tons of food seem extravagant. There's another celebration coming up, maybe I need to start looking for a new job...

Its gonna be a Disappointment Blanket
Shirt? It's the kings mantle. Going to be carried by 3 rows of bearers
I want my Disappointment Comforter. After building a 13600k system, will need one. System is now running in non threaded mode, etc, justy to hobble along until I finish my new AMD machine. AMD messed up, and fixed things for customers. Intel? Yeah. Scumbag isn't the word for it.
I think there's going to be an purely Intel-Edition Disappointment Shirt.

What do I get if I never bought an Intel product in my life tho?
I'm so glad people 1000x more informed on this topic, are finally digging at it. I thought my brand new, cutting edge PC that I built myself, had issues I couldn't resolve. I went through hell doing BIOS flashes, driver wipes and reinstalls, editing configs, reinstalling windows, even fully replaced both motherboard and RAM. Only thing that solved my problems was undervolting/underclocking my CPU, which i guess inadvertently solved some of my issues. As someone who spent over $4000USD on a brand new PC at the height of scalpers in the Covid market (I didn't pay scalper price, it just took 3 months of checking every day to get the parts when they were in stock), I'm fucking furious at the quality control of this.
I cannot WAIT for Intel to do absolutely fucking nothing about it, not issue recalls, not issue any credit, and just act like it never happened. AMD just won the CPU race because of this colossal blunder.

I always felt like that was more or less what they were doing. They haven't been able to keep up with AMD on the GPU side so far, AMD's newer Ryzens also just perform better for the most part, so just to remain relevant, Intel makes themselves the fastest by virtue of being the most power hungry.

I'm right there with you. Just sitting and praying my 13700k doesnt bite the dust at the moment. Excited to build with AMD in the future!
Guys install the intel tweaking utility look it up and check out some guides... you can undervolt plus power limit and raise the fan speeds so the processor doesn't get too hot. If you can I'd also open it up do a thorough cleaning and put new thermal paste on it. I got a 13980hx and I've been undervolting it since day one. Heck you can also disable some e-cores as well that should help keep it at a cooler temperature and use the power you are giving it more efficiently... got mine 8/8 disabled half the e-cores. So far so good and performance basically feels just as fast outside of doing anything that could use those extra 8 e-cores... but it's not a big deal or difference even outside of that scenario.
It is what it is... this sucks but if you properly tweak your system you can basically render it a non issue.
@@PeremptorValuable tips and advice! But sadly consumers shouldn't be having to do this just so their computer works as they expect, having to sacrifice performance (which was a main selling point) just to keep the chip from frying itself is still disgraceful

That sabbatical change is actually huge, it's always been 8 weeks every 7 years (with an option for 4 weeks at 4 years instead, introduced about ten years ago), so this is halving the benefit, functionally removing about 3 working days a year of paid vacation. The use it or lose it change is just a reduction from 3 years to 2 which isn't as big a deal (but could make it more difficult for some large teams to schedule their time off around each other as easily).
Thanks for sharing. I was informed that it was 'shortened,' but didn't get any hard numbers. Is there a public source for that?
If you search Intel Sabbatical Program their public facing US benefits website still has the current plan up at least as of this moment (can't post links on YT). To quote the relevant section: "A hallmark of Intel is our extraordinary sabbatical program established over 30 years ago. Sabbaticals give employees the option to celebrate their fourth anniversary at Intel with four weeks off with full pay, or their seventh with eight weeks-all in addition to regular vacation time."

One good thing coming out of this might just be a larger mass of users trying AMD CPUs for the first time and realizing they're not as bad as they thought.
The ole' mass layoff. Upper mangement fails, they cut thousands of jobs (many of which would be better leaders), paint it as a stock holder/money savings thing. CEO parachutes out to redo it all again sonewhere else. Corporate playbook 101.
Abolish the C-suite. Most pay with the least skin in the game.
Problem is, both the C-suite group and the shareholders are all in on the con, and you are not invited. And then they will try to change the government into a planned economy so that they won't end up like the Vanderbilts.
And for those unsure about how this can happen when you do layoffs you divide the salary expense by the number of employees and get the average. The C-Suite get paid exactly the same as the cleaning staff, so it makes no difference to the number reported to the stock holders whether you fire 10 from C-Suite or the 10 from the cleaning staff. The astute will probably realise the cleaning staff are sub contracted in, it was just used as emphasis for the example.

Well they did purchase a HighNaEUV from ASML in January so I'm sure some of the money went for that..... the rest? Who knows....
This doesn't seem to be the biggest problem with Intel IMHO.

Steve. They are now saying 65w and over parts only because they know that the sub 65w parts have a low probability to fail during the warranty period. The problem is still there at silicon level but does not present or degrade as quickly as the higher end SKUs purely because it's not being run at those higher frequencies, voltages and thermals. They know they are going to have to eat a shit sandwich on this one so now they are just trying to make sure it's only two slices and not half a loaf.

I never had a CPU die since I got my first computer about 23 years ago. Anything that hasen't been recycled yet still works, it's just outdated.
Not getting a computer with an Intel CPU for my next computer. Can't trust them, they sold faulty CPUs and blamed everyone else.
@familhagaudir8561 knowingly sold them, that's the worst part for me. They actually thought they'd get away wirh it.
It might also be a lazy way to try to exclude the 13th gen CPUs that actually use Alder Lake dies without farther calling attention to the fact that their website misleadingly lists such processors as "Raptor Lake" and just "taking it on the chin" that the a couple 13th gen Alder Lake i5s may get in the mix which would also explain the phrasing that not all CPU models on their provided list may actually be susceptible.
(for reference, an easy tell is to look at the rated JDEC DDR5 speeds for a given SKU on Intel's site: anything with an Alder Lake die lists DDR5-4800 such as seen on the i9-12900KS and i5-13600 non-K, while anything with a Raptor Lake die lists DDR5-5600 such as seen on the i5-13600K/F, i7-13700 non-K, and i9-14900KS)
Worked at Intel for 25 years......I witnessed it start sinking over time. Internally, it's such a toxic & dysfunctional working environment that it's no wonder they're crashing & burning. So glad I'm no longer there. Consquently, the free fruit & beverage program ran Intel more or less 20 million per year (when they go into cost cutting mode, they look at everything - including other items which end up being detrimental to internal functions/operations).

Steve, I remember seeing "Out of video memory" errors on the Factorio bug report forum. Factorio does an extremely good job detecting memory errors, so folks often post complicated crash reports. Taken at face value, those reports were assumed to be too many mod graphics loaded, a corrupted video driver or a memory bit flip. But it could be worth investigating, since the number of "magic" crash reports has remained steady or increased recently by my estimation.

When I was a contractor at the Intel fabs, there were no hot Lots, your wafers went step by step through the line and *nothing could cut in place of it.* Those were years when the yield manufacturing defect (YMD) stats were fantastic. They've been declining ever since and it's been a struggle for them.

@@mikefromwa "Do you what it right, or do you want it Friday?"
Probably there's serious technical challenges when working with such tiny amounts of material, such high amperage, voltage and heat.
The high energy, high clock rate, the positive and negative doped materials against each other, must have serious effect on material design, lifetime and degradation.
Intel have struggled in recent years with fabrication.
China wants Taiwan, which will also mean TSMC. And intel is trying to build a new fab in USA in case of serious issues with China, shipping, blockades, and worse in the Far East.
Would be interesting to see genuine experts on the area tell us about the challenges, probable issues that intel are having, solutions etc.
How many execs were fired for this blunder?
@@vane909090 2 were hired.
@@vane909090Knowing how things work in corporate America, they all received bonuses.
Job interview in Tech :
“What will be my job ?”
“That’s irrelevant. We just hire you now so we can fire you later.”
Employees suffer while executives thrive, this has to stop. Layoff and benefit cuts while executives get raises? The same thing is happening at many employers. We've let so many people go that we've "run out" of severance package funding (which is two weeks plus one for each year of service.) and they are now writing people up for random bull shit to be able to fire vs layoff. Meanwhile our executives gave themselves record raises and bonuses and are some of the highest paid in the industry.
This is due to MBA Private Equity mindset which is rampant everywhere. This impending market crash is going to have to reset the top levels. "How could we have known?!"
This screams "Find another gig / get out before we fire you."
I think Execs are also at risk on being on the chopping block. Usually cases like these cause board level meetings (board members are usually external to the organization). Execs of the departments would need to present findings or lack of process which may have caused the issue. Usually in smaller orgs the excuses are "we didnt have enough funding so we couldnt do adequate testing before the due date due to headcount etc.." In this case though, Intel is a billion dollar company, bs excuses like that doesn't fly. The fact that Intel stated their labs crew were operating with a "skeleton staff" just screams execs attempt to protect themselves from being held accountable and essentiallly blaming the board to reduce overhead costs to increase profits.

The 15% being laid off are likely all engineers and techs who actually know what's going on and how to make tongs. Meanwhile upper management will get bonuses for saving money by firing employees. I doubt any management will get canned. Good year, management takes credit. Bad year, will it must be all the bottom employees dragging us down.
It's about time though, the gap in the market will create a huge opportunity for Chinese to ramp up their R&D and silicon/semiconductor industry as-if they haven't already been doing that! Apart from that Intel loses on it's own game on it's own turf.. esp with AMD Ryzen - What a shame!
Someone hasn’t been paying attention that the chinese silicon manufacturers have basically all gone bankrupt and failed…

Dammit Steve! I turned on your video as "background noise" while I was assembling some PCs and then found out why the Intel build (i5-13400 w/ ARC A770) I did last October was crashing all the time. The error kept saying "video memory error", so I attributed it to the ARC GPU drivers just being behind and decided to let the system sit and come back to it later on after Intel had made some more progress on their GPU front.
Now I find out that Intel set the warranty extension cut-off at the 13400K and did not include the 13400 (which is also a 65W TDP chip, the same as the bar they set for the other SKUs).

The fix is a redesign that would take years. In that time they'll have only lawsuits, no profit. That's why the layoffs.
Of course there was a fix: issue a recall. But their stock price would fall temporarily so they decided to ignore the issue and let it fester.
@@russell2952 It wasn't their stock price they were worried about. Their stock price is down over 50% since 2022. It was the fact that replacing every K series processor would mean having a massive overproduction issue. Let's say 1/10th of the dies come out 14900K binned. They would have to produce 10 extra CPUs for every 149K RMA, and wouldn't sell most of the other SKUs that were binned as they already had sufficient stock of all the lower end chips that would be binned out.
The fab costs alone would sink them, they would have tons of extra lower end 14th gen they couldn't sell, and they would probably have to pull new 14900Ks off storefronts to save some of the extra manufacturing for RMAs they would be doing. And even then, they probably wouldn't service all RMAs before running deep into debt.
Good god, if I was a low level employee and I happened to be in that call and they said they were cutting 15-20% of the workforce, I'd have lost my collective shit and went off on the exec'c. Absolutely insane they give one a 15% bump from 11.5Mil a year to some 15/16Mil. This is why I despise corp America. It's no different than the FinTech I work for except that we're not cutting people. While $5Mil wouldn't make much of a difference for that amount of cuts, perhaps cutting those CEO salaries to say, idk, $250k a year which is way more than what most need yearly to live comfortably in the US. That other $30-50Mil a year that those 3 big wigs make would easily help to float those cuts.
It's astonishing the amount of greed we see these days in bloated salaries. No one needs $15 Mil/Yr.

Another problem with the "keep RMAing it over and over" thing is the fact that Intel threatens to confiscate your CPU each time you do it, because they accuse some people of having tray processors or counterfeit processors for no reason.
All the more reason to log literally everything until you get your money back, then don't use them
I only buy boxed CPUs for this reason
@@kcwilsonii What I'm saying is that Intel is accusing people of having tray or counterfeit CPUs even if they bought boxed ones.
If that's actually happening, that is insane behavior and unacceptable.
Intel should KNOW whether a CPU is a tray or boxed model based on the serial number, which is required to get an RMA.
Just goes to show you can't trust corporations as far as you can throw them, and even more reason to keep keep your CPU boxes.
Late stage capitalism, brought to you by vindictive companies like intel and oracle
The level of immaturity and unprofessional behavior Intel has demonstrated over the last few years is truly shocking. They have a much bigger problem than defective CPUs, a lack of an adult in a very big room.

7:37 the intel response to cutting fruit cost is gold
Like you said Intel has already decided that settling a class action lawsuit will be cheaper. Don't look for anything from Intel to fix this. When it's all said and done they will payout something like $30-$50 per customer plus legal fees as opposed to replacing all the defective CPU's. Class action lawsuit here we come.
In most class action lawsuits the victims only get like $5 so Intel is going to make out like a bandit. And of course the lawyers will get rich too. Class action settlements that don't make the victims whole should be illegal. If anything, companies who refuse to do what's right so they HAVE to be sued should pay at least 10x more than what it would take to make the victims whole.
This is a lot like that movie titled, "Class Action" (1991) with Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Except it was about cars instead of cpus. The company ran the numbers and figured out that it would be cheaper to settle the lawsuits than to actually fix the cars that could explode and kill or injure people. Very, very good movie.
