The Intel 285K CPU in my high-end 2025 Linux PC died again! 😡 Notably, this was the replacement CPU for the original 285K that died in March, and after reading through the reviews of Intel CPUs on my electronics store of choice, many of which (!) mention CPU replacements, I am getting the impression that Intel’s current CPUs just are not stable 😞. Therefore, I am giving up on Intel for the coming years and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D CPU instead.

    Just for interest. Why did you buy Intel in the first place. I don’t know about many use cases where Intel is the superior option.

      I started buying Intel CPUs because they allowed me to build high-performance computers that ran Linux flawlessly and produced little noise.

      I find it funny that they mention noise level, as if the CPU itself were making noise. I’ve bought silent fans all my life, separately from CPUs.
