Alderon are the people claiming 100% of units fail which doesn’t seem supported by anyone else either. Wendell and GN seem to have scoped the issue to around 10-25% across multiple different sources.

Like they are the most extreme claimants at this point. Are they really credible?

Ok, I take it back, this looks pretty indicative of a low-load problem and evidently failure rates are much higher in that scenario.

I haven't watched the video in its entirely, but it does feel like single core boost might be the main culprit in this scenario. That actually makes a lot of sense why game servers are the one that's affected the most. Though that makes me wonder about HX CPUs failing, since these SKUs doesn't have TVB, but given Wendell's 10-25% failure rate on all-core load, it does seem like Intel may actually have multiple issues with RPL here. Things definitely doesn't look good.
