Intel Core Ultra 200 And AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs Reportedly Have Similar Failure Rates, Reveals Puget Systems Analysis

The image shows two processor boxes side by side: an Intel Core Ultra series 9 processor box with 'Unlocked' branding on the left, and an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor box with 'AMD 3D V-Cache Technology' on the right.

The data shows that the latest processors from both brands are equally reliable, and the failure rates are almost identical. Puget Systems Tracking Reveals Nearly 2.5% Failure Rates for Latest AMD and Intel CPUs; Non-X3D Chips Reportedly Die More Often Than X3D Counterparts We mostly see AMD's Ryzen X3D chips on the news as the processors are often reported dead by users. While the reports largely comprise the Ryzen 9800X3D, other X3D and non-X3D Ryzen processors also get cooked regularly. Surprisingly, when the failure rates are compared against Intel processors, something interesting is revealed. Puget Systems data on its in-house […]

There Is β€œZero Chance” That Apple iPhone Chips Will Leverage Intel’s Advanced Nodes, Claim Industry Insiders

An illustration shows a stylized split between the Apple and Intel logos, symbolizing a rivalry.

Intel has attracted quite a bit of chatter over the past few weeks amid tantalizing prospects of Apple returning to the chipmaker's embrace for some M-series processors and non-Pro iPhone chips. However, a new perspective from industry insiders has largely precluded the possibility of Apple iPhone chips leveraging Intel's bleeding-edge nodes. Chips made on Intel's advanced nodes will sport a degraded heat dissipation ability, precluding Apple's iPhone chips from leveraging the said nodes In recent weeks, both GF Securities and DigiTimes have disclosed that Apple might opt for Intel's 18A-P process for its lowest-end M-series chips that are expected to […]
