The Intel 285K CPU in my high-end 2025 Linux PC died again! 😡 Notably, this was the replacement CPU for the original 285K that died in March, and after reading through the reviews of Intel CPUs on my electronics store of choice, many of which (!) mention CPU replacements, I am getting the impression that Intel’s current CPUs just are not stable 😞. Therefore, I am giving up on Intel for the coming years and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D CPU instead.
The computer I bought should last me about 10 years. I spent a fuckload of money on it. The next comp will have to be done entirely with as little starting google and privacy violating shit as possible.
And I am certain AMD will make better stuff by then.
I’m still rocking an i7 4790k and its >10 years old! Judging from the other comments it seems the intel issue is more of a recent one though. If I ever configure a new PC, I’ll check out AMD for sure.
I’m still using the same chip on an Asus mobo. No problems here.
