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.
Holy shit. I knew they were going to simplify Raptor a lot, but even knowing most of the rat’s nest was sensors/etc., this is insane. I wish we could see cross sections!
