The first of very many legal cases that will pop up across the globe all because Intel wont do the right thing and recall these faulty processors.

Intel is a disaster and needs to do the right thing by issuing a recall... but these days it seems like 9 out of 10 things we buy have time bombs in them. I worry that this would be a tough hill to climb for the plaintiffs unless Intel stops honoring warranty claims as well.

Hopefully AMD can capitalize on this to continue to drive competition into the space and make these companies invest in better engineering practices.

A recall of all 13/14th Gen CPU was massively costly, they will probably try and coast by with a liberal return policy.
