Puget Systems Reports Higher Failure Rates for AMD CPUs Compared to Intel

Puget Systems has released a new report highlighting CPU failure rates. Their data shows that AMD Ryzen 5000 and 7000 series CPUs have a higher failure rate than Intel’s 13th and 14th-generation processors. This comes as a surprise given recent concerns about the stability of Intel’s latest chips.

Puget Systems attributes their relatively low failure rates for Intel CPUs to conservative power management practices. They strictly adhere to Intel’s specifications and develop their own settings to avoid excessive voltage and power issues. This approach has helped them manage the stability problems that have plagued other users.

Intel has acknowledged the degradation issues and plans to release a microcode patch by mid-August. This update aims to prevent further damage but may not fix existing issues. Puget Systems will validate this update and provide it to their customers once it is deemed stable.

Comparison of Failure Rates

The report reveals that Puget Systems’ failure rates for Intel’s 13th and 14th-generation CPUs are over 2%, while AMD Ryzen 5000 and 7000 series CPUs have a failure rate of over 4%. Despite the elevated failure rates, Puget Systems’ data indicates that the problem is not yet critical. However, they plan to keep a close eye on the situation.
