Maybe put the Gamer's Nexus videos down and look at the longer history of processors.
Every company has had fabrication issues and the risk only increases with every year that they push die shrink.
In fact, not even a year ago, Gamer's Nexus was putting out videos about Ryzen processors burning out.
The other compounding factor is architecture unification. People spent a decade praising AMD's Zen for not forcing them to buy a new motherboard every year while criticizing Intel for socket revisions, yet the prevailing argument has shown to be that unified architectures have failure points.
Besides, you better hope that competition continues to exist. Otherwise, AMD's processors are going to get very expensive. Qualcomm is not going to keep them in check.
Yes we do! 12900k!! Buy low and still works for years to come. 12900k smoking some of AMDs new processors. I wish they kept the lga1700 for another generation while intel fixes their issues.
That said AmD is the one for me now since their socket will work for a while. I'll get in on cheaper chip and upgrade to the top of the line in three years

I think Gigabyte UD micro ATX Motherboards might be more reliable. The DDR4 version is normally $109 and sometimes goes for $100. Better reviews than ASrock. I paired it with a $109 i5-12400F for my daughter's pink computer build. Nobody makes cheap pink gaming computers....

Absolutely. I think most people have an issue with Intel's response, which has been to not recall the processors, and for people whose RMAs were rejected, to just "try again".
Horrible response for a faulty product from an absolutely gigantic company. On the other side, it's also horrible that AMD has a vulnerability that they will not be patching on Zen 2 and older desktop processors.
