Intel's CPUs Are Failing, ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs

Sponsor: NZXT C1500 Platinum PSU on Amazon https://geni.us/KvKlUi
Intel's CPUs, including the 14900K and 13900K (and others of those generations) have had ramping instability reports from consumers for months now, but Wendell of Level1 Techs has sources stating that Intel's CPUs are also failing in enterprise and server deployments. This concerning development suggests that some of the prior PL1 and PL2 configuration issues may be a different issue or red herring, as the server boards don't push power to the same extent as the consumer Z790 motherboards. We talk with Wendell about what this means and what's next for Intel.
