At first I was somewhat sceptical about these reports regarding critical instability with 13/14 gen intel desktop CPUs. Not saying there wasn't an issue, but the "tech news cycle" does have a tendency for sensationalism and drama.

But I am starting to wonder if there is some sort of fundamental problem with the 13/14 gen at least for consumer CPUs (I can't imagine something like this would be tolerated in their Xeon server line).

I'm worried it's a lithography issue. The recent GamersNexus and Level1Techs coverage seems to point that way, at least to me. For example, they mention CPUs working fine for a while, then suddenly becoming increasingly unstable. There's so much that can go wrong with lithography that could cause that kind of behavior, and we know they've been having issues given the whole 14nm debacle.

The problem for me, is that the two generations are out there, so they can’t believe they can avoid the issue forever.

Either they do a recall, or the disaster consumes the company altogether if they continue to ignore it.
