This is a non-article, an exercise in bias confirmation. Without a control with no segfaults, or a root cause, it's not useful.

In the article (or perhaps the original article that is linked in this one) they explain that they ran the same tests on Intel processors without any issues whatsoever...

Could be an issue with the motherboard, BIOS, or RAM though. If this was repeated across multiple motherboards, CPUs and RAM combinations to exclude the possibility of it being a flaky part, then yes, sure.
