Does your desktop PC have a 13th- or 14th-generation Raptor Lake CPU? Read this now. Does the microcode patch actually work? You really need to read this.
And here I thought, it would be good to go for Intel. Recently got a new PC with 14600KF. However, I have not had any issues with performance besides Deathloop (Launches, black screen and then dissapears).
Unfortunately, this problem is larger than a micro-code update. The main issue the user is likely referring to is Intel shipping defective product (oxidation issues), denying warranty claims for said defective product, then staying quiet when it’s proven they have been shipping defective product. Intel could have owned up to the issue and proactively recalled defective units, but, they didn’t do the honorable thing, not even close.

e.g. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/ryzen-3000-fix-sinkclose-vulnerability-183025768.html AMD has these sorts of flaws too, I don’t know enough to tell if AMD is significantly better at this when deciding to buy

So far the AMD security flaws aren’t causing physical CPU damage, so Intel definitely wins the screw up award.
That AMD security vulnerability doesn’t physically damage the CPU while this Intel flaw does. Thats a drastic difference so the two are not the same
That exploit required kernel access to begin with, which at that point, you have much bigger problems.
