laughs in dual Xeon v4's
Just bought an i5 13600k. Should I be refunding this? I’d have to entirely replace my LGA1700 motherboard as well :(
depends on your return window,
if you have a chance to refund both your CPU and mobo I'd personally recommend taking it and waiting to see what Intel does if you want to buy Intel's future processors, you'd also get the option to take a look at AMD's lineup as well
if you're outside the return window for both it might still be worth refunding the CPU and seeing if you'd be able to swap the mobo with an AMD equivalent by contacting your board maker [Asus, MSI, Asrock, Gigabyte, NZXT, etc), if they say no then you still have the option to sell as a new board as it sounds like you were on the cusp of the build phase
Nah the board is a few years old. I’d be taking a loss on the motherboard and cpu as they’re both out of the return window.
Maybe I should just sell the entire pc.
If it's still in the return window I personally would yeah
I would personally get off the platform if you are able to recuperate your costs. We don't have 100% confirmation that the microcode patches will fix the issue, as they won't be released until mid-august. May as well wait until the issue is fixed or spend your money on a platform that is more solid.
I am really glad I bought old NUCs instead of the latest for my self hosting. That being said, I wonder if this is going to cause the market to flip and the old generations to temporarily be more expensive while 13/14 generations tank?
Thinking about this situation again and I'm only just realizing the ripple effects this might have on the company's future and the future CPU ecosystem
I have to wonder if Intel realizes that they swam out to the ocean with no plan in mind
As someone who slaves away at a company measuring revenue in billions and authorized to procure $1MM per year (seriously, not a humblebrag. Companies shit money)….
lol. Every company right now is driving straight off a cliff with their foot on the pedal. Who cares about next year when we can squeeze more profit now?
Welcome to late stage capitalism. Or if you prefer, late stage industrialization. The rulers aren’t as dumb as we like to think. They know nothing will remain of society in 50 years due to climate change and resource scarcity.
Might as well squeeze it for everything left and f… off to their little apocalypse mansions in geologically stable areas.
