This is kind of like cutting off your leg because of a hangnail. I've been running a Skylake MBP for more than 6 months for compilation workloads and haven't seen a single processor hang.

I'm much more annoyed by the completely unpredictable desktop assignment on monitors when hotplugging DisplayPort connections on multiple displays. This one bothers me every day.

If there was data corruption you might not notice.

That's weird re monitor issues. I've been impressed with how consistent mine are.

What I see:

Same monitor/monitors plugged into same ports produce consistent configs.

I get a unique config per monitor/port.

I agree. I've been fine myself. But if people feel the need to turn it off. ;)
