I think Intel flew a little too close to the Sun with their latest generation, high-end Core processors (in order to power the chips, I suppose) and enabled motherboard manufacturers to shove it into the Sun.
Anandtech: Intel Issues Official Statement Regarding 14th and 13th Gen Instability, Recommends Intel Default Settings
In the early benchmarks that Intel used to show how well the high-end Core processors performed against AMD high-end Ryzen's processors, it seems like Intel pushed the limits of how much power to feed the processors.
As a means of trying to outdo each other (or even boards within their own lineup), motherboard manufacturers shipped out boards with default power settings set to 11, exacerbating the issue.
Trying to dump the same amount of power normally used by larger GPU chips into a relatively small socket and die is a recipe for disaster.

> According to [Stefan Heule], there may be as many as 3600 instructions. That’s more than twenty times as many instructions as RISC-V has, even if you count all of the most common RISC-V extensions.
#Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said #POTUS#Biden is pushing him to get new federally funded chip factories up & running….
“He wants it bigger, he wants it sooner,” Gelsinger said.
The #Biden admin announced Wed that #Intel will receive $8.5B in grants & $11B in loans to help it reshore some of its #computer#chip#production from overseas.
Banning China from accessing advanced silicon meant only one thing: that China is now at the frontline of innovation on an open architecture like #RiscV, while America is throwing its money at a dead body like #Intel.
I thought about adding another E5-1660 v2 like my other T3610, but suddenly they have gone up in price and at almost the cost of an AMD Ryzen, by comparison. It would be silly to pay that much for a small 0.1 Ghz boost gain.
I also considered a E5-2673 v2, but I cannot find anyone who used it with a Dell T3610 and so I am uncertain about the compatibility. 🤔
During the pandemic, I needed a new system, but due to high demand and a global limited supply, prices at the time were insane. By insane, I recall even a "cheap" SSD drive going for nearly 300 bucks and video cards going for around 1000. Prices were far too inflated to justify new, when I knew they would come back down (which they did).
That is how I got into second hand pre-builds systems. You have these data centers looking to offload old workstations and servers for cheap.
@Linux_Is_Best Yes, GPU prices and pretty much anything that uses semiconductors were expensive during the pandemic because everyone needed computers and of course there are the Cryptominers that were buying up all the GPUs, which is why I was stuck with a Geforce GTX 980 Ti and a Vega 56 for a long time, before I got a RX 7900 XTX.
DDR5 RAM was really expensive due to the small supply in 2022, but of course it went down in price since then along with SSD pricing, which has plunged, but going up a little bit from its lows.
@argv_minus_one@yashasolutions don't forget that while Mozilla Corporation is a regular enterprise, it's entirely owned by a non-profit foundation. It has literally no stakeholders it must pay dividends to, so it's a particularly silly situation.
