"Over the last 3–4 months, we have observed that CPUs initially working well deteriorate over time, eventually failing," he claims. "The failure rate we have observed from our own testing is nearly 100%, indicating it's only a matter of time before affected CPUs fail."

Not used to seeing significant age-related degradation in silicon used under normal conditions. Sounds like Intel dun goofed...

Raptor Lake

And Meteor Lake. Raptor Lake is 13th gen, Meteor Lake 14th gen.

Australia-based indie dev studio Alderon Games made its frustrations with Intel's latest chips public in a write-up titled, "Intel is selling defective 13-14th Gen CPUs," authored by the studio's founder Matthew Cassells.

Just ordered an i5-13600k for my flight sim rig haha. I am in danger.

yeah, I misremembered because I was comparing intel cpus then I found that last gen ryzen is better and cheaper.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

One of the telltale signs of these stability issues on Raptor Lake is the "out of video memory" error message that pops up in games such as Fortnite.

Cassells claims that his studio has received thousands of crash reports from players using 13th and 14th-gen Core chips and that his development team has personally experienced "frequent instability" on their own Raptor Lake-powered PCs.

But Cassells reckons there's a more substantial underlying problem here than mere glitches of instability solved by motherboard configurations.

"Over the last 3–4 months, we have observed that CPUs initially working well deteriorate over time, eventually failing," he claims.

This 13900K went into a gaming PC with a lower-end motherboard that by design can't max out the chip's power usage.

Cassells also recommends players, whether they're hosting their own servers or just playing a game, to avoid Raptor Lake processors.
