no way haha anyway if you want to learn to code check out lowlevel.academy/
-
Sounds like Rust wasn't the fix for this one
-
Not trusting the hardware is a whole another level of debugging nightmare
-
Ed: "should try Rust" Intel: "we have more rust than we would like to, actually.."
-
Oxidation? Sounds like Rust was the issue 😅
-
Userbenchmark: the lastest intel CPUs are so amazing they cant even contain their own power!
-
Transistors weren't oxidizing, the vias were. A via through is a "wire" that travels in the up/down direction in the cpu when the cpu is laid flat on a surface to allow connections to different layers of the cpu. The transistors were getting excessive voltage causing the semi-conductive state along the 5-7 nanometer transitive area of a transistor to lose the semi-conductivity by having those atoms in there shift position due to the excessive voltage.
-
Most developers wouldn't even consider that the Compiler or CPU has a bug thats causing their code to crash. It certainly took us 4 months to figure out it was actually the CPU.
-
Planned obsoletion goes too fast?
-
Userbenchmark is going to implode. Lmao.
-
If my game is failing, there's at least a thousand things I'd blame before I would ever consider thinking the CPU itself is actually starting to rot. Especially as a game developer this is a ballsy move but kudos do them!
-
Get ready for thousands of these defective CPUs flooding the market,
-
Intel just doesn't wanna recognize that they have an "off by one volt" error in code
-
"Microcode update to fix oxydation issues" has the same bad smell as "software patch to make a MAX 737 behave like a 737". "Small number of reports" ditto.
-
Enshittification is spreading into hardware.
-
Intel has Boeing
-
Ed takes holidays, the IT world colapses. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
-
Level1Techs and Gamers Nexus have both been digging into this issue and have videos I'd highly recommend going deep into this issue.
-
Intel to Crowdstrike: "Well, I will continue what you started."
-
I still wonder if it'll ever come out if the CrowdStrike devs were running 13th/14th gen CPUs and their deployment issue/corruption was actually Intel's fault.
