if the problem is just a simple digit on a part that is permanently covered by a hunk of aluminum then i am willing to help them dispose them. Send me many units and I won’t even charge any disposal fee
Some poor intern is busy manually changing the typo on each cpu.
Waiting for the re-drawing of the text on the lid to effect the flatness of the cpu and ruin cooling or something…
Still, a much nicer issue to have than Intel is fighting!
Won’t the thermal paste fill the gap, as it usually does?
It’s still less conductive than metal. The latest/best CPU coolers have started to ship coolers with cold plates that are shaped to deliberately curve slightly to match how intel/AMD CPUs curve differently

You know, I’ll take it at this point
AMD: the labeling on our processors is wrong and that’s a serious issue that requires a recall.
Intel: our processors are frying themselves, we have a software fix in the works, but there’s no way to guarantee preventing it in the mean time and no matter how long you’ve had the processor before it stops working properly or just flat out dies, we aren’t going to recall, replace, repair, or otherwise compensate you for the crappy expensive product we sold you.
I mean it’s sad when an issue that would likely lead to confusion and scamming people, but otherwise just a visual issue is more important to one company than a serious defect is to another, and that it’s such a “feel-good” thing to see the former when it should be a major problem that their QE didn’t catch that before shipping a major product.
But their cpus still aren’t causing constant crashes 😂
It’s Intel’s proprietary technology along with high power consumption and high heat output, it would be copyright infringement to have that on AMD CPUs.
Time to go register a patent for “no bugs or backdoors”. Profit.
