That isn't true at all. All issues have been identified and fixed with the latest bios updates.

They've been fixed according to Intel. I'd say it's still a little too early to trust them. We need some time for the community to stress test them and look for any performance degradation or extra throttling applied by the updates.

Also, two things worth noting:

This is like the third time Intel told us they fixed this. They were also very confident the first two times.
Their response to this issue overall hasn't been great, so I'm not sure I trust them to clean up this mess completely.
People who actually play PC games. You aren't playing MSFS 2000, iRacing or any other AAA game on a Mac mini.

What stress tests would you suggest to detect any problem with the CPU?

Prime 95 is a classic: https://www.mersenne.org/download/

Intel also has their own diagnostic tool:
https://www.intel.com/content/www...ssors.html

"The Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool or Intel® PDT is a downloadable software that installs in your PC in order to:
  • Verify the functionality of all the cores of Intel® Processor.
  • Check for the brand identification.
  • Verify the processor operating frequency.
  • Test specific processor features.
  • Perform a stress test on the processor."

Isn't this about the same specs as the $1900 Lenovo Legion 7i deal from about 1 week ago?

I think in this case you're spending the extra money on 64gb RAM, if I'm not mistaken.

Having bought this machine and used it 2 months before returning. The machine runs great I just didn't want to take any chances of intel dying on me.
Any issues with return?

Just need to update the bios out of the gate. All of the issues have been root caused and addressed now.

Is this one of the better recent deals? I'm thinking of pulling the plug. Would it be much cheaper if I were to build with same specs?
