News Intel 13th Gen CPUs allegedly have 4X higher return rate than the prior gen — retailer stats also claim Intel CPU RMAs are higher than AMD

Makes me glad I stuck with my underperforming 5950X. It may not perform to spec, but at least it won't potentially self destruct.

I would find the first part of that hard to believe. How would you already have them shipped and nobody in QC had seen some print wrong?

... have to admit I feel slightly vindicated.. LOL

This exact thing is being reported. There were/are 9600x and 9700x CPUs that had *Ryzen 9 5600X* and *Ryzen 9 9700x* laser engraved on the IHS.

That's just one link for reddit. Videocardz and WCCF Tech are both saying the same thing.
