Netizen jerubedo posted on the social platform Reddit yesterday that Intel refused to return his two 14900K CPUs for return authorization, and said that if the warranty process continues, his CPUs will be confiscated or destroyed. As soon as the article came out, it immediately triggered widespread discussion, and many netizens even expressed their intention to join a class action lawsuit to protect their rights and interests. (Preliminary summary: Intel's sudden layoff of thousands of people "helped AMD's rise", Intel13 and 14th generation CPU caused a disaster, AMD's financial report soared by 8%) (Background supplement: Intel Intel plummeted by 20%! Layoffs of 15,000, 32 Suspension of dividends for the first time in years, the darkest day for U.S. semiconductors) Yesterday (2), it handed over a dismal second quarter financial report. It planned to lay off more than 15,000 people and suspend dividends. The stock price plummeted by more than 30% in the past two days. There was a leak in the house and it rained all night. Yesterday, it was reported that there might be another class action lawsuit due to the major damage to the 13th and 14th generation Core desktop processors. According to reports from "Tom's Hardware" and "PC MAG", Abington Cole + Ellery, an international law firm specializing in class actions and intellectual property rights, has begun investigating instability issues plaguing Intel's 13th and 14th generation CPUs and has called on affected parties on its official website Users have come forward as representatives of a class action lawsuit to hold Intel accountable. Extended reading: Is Intel going to be sued? The United States has called on victims of the 13th and 14th generation Intel processors to file a class action lawsuit. Intel refused to insure the affected CPUs. The community shouted: Join the class action lawsuit. As the Intel 13th and 14th generation CPU disasters continued to spread, Intel announced on the 1st that it would The boxed version of the 13th/14th generation desktop processors has been extended to a 2-year warranty. In addition to the original 3-year warranty, the overall warranty will be extended to 5 years. However, netizen jerubedo posted on the community Reddit yesterday that Intel refused to return his two 14900K CPUs for return authorization (RMA), and said that if the netizen continues the warranty process, Intel will confiscate or destroy his CPUs. Many people also When I encountered this situation, I left a message saying that Intel has become extremely strict in issuing insurance policies in recent years, and I often face difficulties. For example, one of Intel's reasons for rejection was that opening the cover violated the warranty, but netizens believed that the color of the residual thermal paste was too close to the adhesive on the cover, which led to Intel customer service's misjudgment. However, consumers also pointed out that this situation happened four or five years ago. It is impossible for Intel to happen, and it is also ironic that "every RMA photo may have to be taken by a photographer." Although most of these subsequent situations have been resolved by large sellers Amazon and Microcenter, and some have fully refunded the victims, this is equivalent to absorbing costs on behalf of Intel, and many netizens believe that these two companies should not bear it Intel's responsibilities and costs, and today's large-scale 13/14 generation desktop processor cases have also caused trouble for dealers and consumers. As soon as the article came out, it immediately triggered extensive discussions among Reddit netizens. Some netizens said: "Ironically, Intel has just announced that it will extend the warranty for two years," "Boycott Intel products," and "Summon Gamer Nexus to criticize Intel." In addition, some netizens said that the information can be provided to the class action investigation. This statement also caused many disaster-stricken netizens to ask how to join the class action lawsuit. Intel’s 13th and 14th generation CPUs caused a catastrophe. As previously reported, Gamer Nexus, a well-known e-sports Youtuber, released a video on July 20, criticizing the 13th and 14th generation CPU models produced by Intel for having major problems, triggering social outcry. Big attention. Against the background of increasing pressure, Intel finally announced on the 23rd that it had found the root cause of the crash problem of its 13th and 14th generation processors. Intel said in the Reddit community that through extensive analysis of unstable 13th and 14th generation processors returned by customers, it was confirmed that the problem lies in a specific algorithm of the processor microcode, which causes the processor's voltage request to be inaccurate. , thereby increasing the operating voltage of the processor, causing some consumers to experience program crashes, freezes, burned out CPUs, and other disasters when using their computers. The community is dissatisfied with Intel's compensation plan. Although Intel has stated that it will "provide comprehensive compensation", it is expected to provide microcode update files to relevant motherboard partners in mid-August, allowing affected users to update themselves. However, users who have previously suffered damage due to excessive voltage It is irreparable and Intel promises to provide affected users with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). Any affected users can contact Intel. However, the company's insistence on not recalling and discontinuing sales of the 13th and 14th generation Core desktop processors still makes the majority of users quite dissatisfied. In the past, the market value far exceeded that of TSMC, but now it is only 1/8 of TSMC. Looking back on the past, Intel's market value exceeded US$300 billion in 2000, and it was the leader in the technology industry at that time.At that time, the "Wintel" alliance formed by Intel and Microsoft set off a wave of global PC era. By comparison, semiconductor peer TSMC at the time had a market capitalization of only $50 billion, while Nvidia had a market capitalization of only $5 billion. However, as the dot-com bubble burst, the technology industry suffered a heavy setback, and Intel's market value also plummeted by 80%, but this did not affect Intel's leading position in semiconductors. However, from the 2010s to the 2020s, many semiconductor companies began to exert their strength. Nvidia and AMD rose rapidly. TSMC’s market value even overtook Intel in 2017, which shocked the entire financial world at the time. Many people believe that the future may be one of multiple leading companies carving up the semiconductor market, and Intel will definitely have a place in it. Going back to the present, Huida, which had a market value of only US$5 billion at the time, relied on the AI ​​craze to once soar to US$3 trillion, becoming the world's most valuable company; TSMC, which had a market value of only US$50 billion at the time, relied on its semiconductor industry With a market value of US$758.59 billion, it has become the tenth largest company in the world by market value. In contrast, Intel, which had a market value of over US$300 billion that year, now has a market value of only US$96.76 billion, only 1/8 of TSMC, which is very disappointing. Intel's stock price and market value After Biden took office, Intel's transformation failed. Regarding the decline of the former technology leader, the community believes that the culprit may be the current US President Biden. Yik Lim, a netizen on the social platform Facebook, posted that the Biden administration's chip bill subsidies should be the biggest curse that prevents Intel from smoothly transforming: Because of receiving this subsidy, Intel must give priority to building factories in the United States, and any penny spent will Members of Congress from both parties are watching closely. But in fact, Intel's best-run factory is not in the United States but in Ireland. Even the average level of human resources in Israel is better than that in the United States. As a result, Intel is now in the United States in order to raise money...
