I mean, they extended the warranty and offered replacements for damaged chips... what else more could they have done? 🤔

Not hidden the fact that they knew about the issues years ahead of when they actually did anything?

Intel was denying RMAs up until a few months ago, when by all accounts they had been aware of an issue at some point early 2023 or late 2022. And then for months they let game developers and GPU manufacturers take blame for something they had nothing to do with. If Nvidia hadn't pointed at Intel, and level1tech and gamersnexus didn't make damning videos about it, we could still be where we were earlier this year. They were just forced to acknowledge fault.

The fact that they're doing the right thing now doesn't excuse what they did before that. Seems perfectly reasonable to claim damages for something that occurred prior. Although I doubt this guy will ever see any money come of this. Arrow Lake looks like a flop so far, and Battlemage is riding entirely on the backing of the CPU department. Intel's immediate future isn't exactly looking great.

I'd also like to say the words voluntary recall
