It really is quite impressive this issue has been going on all year and Intel isn’t divulging anything of note yet. If they know they sure aren’t telling anyone.
Isn’t this them telling us?
Probably because they don’t know.
Or it’s an unintended side effect of some secret NSA backdoor that they have to either fix while maintaining the backdoor, or drag their feet until the NSA can finish up their active uses and get a new backdoor.
Intel CPUs have a part of it that’s inaccesible to anyone but Intel. It can run when the computer is off, access the internet, etc. It’s already well documented and apparently has been a thing for years. I don’t think it’s causing crashes all of a sudden.

I assumed it was because the crashes are hard to reproduce for everybody? I have an OC’d 13th gen that doesn’t have issues.
