So they got all that money from Uncle Sam’s CHIPS Act only to lay off 10,000 employees and make themselves “lean”. Govt funded unemployment.

      The problem is fixable in microcode -if- it hasn’t already caused damage to the CPU. Most CPUs are fucked.

        It sounds like a workaround, not a fix. And it’s not clear that it stops the processor degradation, rather than just slowing it.

          There’s no such thing as stopping processor degradation, it’s just that it usually takes so long that nobody cares anymore.
