"Gamers Nexus, on the other hand, thinks the issue is more deep rooted and originates from a foundry-level fault."
That's a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.
Intel confirmed on reddit that oxidation did impact some chips.
More than one thing can be wrong at the same time, so everybody can be right!
They admitted that there was an oxidation defect and they haven't started a recall or even listed serial numbers?
It's a lot cheaper to say "if you think you're affected contact us" than it is to proactively reach out with a recall.
It's also a lot easier to scam people by keeping them in the dark and denying them RMAs until their warranty runs out after you sold them a broken product. The whole thing smells like stalling until after the AMD launch next week.
