So what you are really saying is Intel made another defective product.

No, I'm just using that as an officially documented example of Prime95 being problematic.

AMD is subject to electromigration as well. I've seen a couple guys on Reddit already degrade their Zen2 chips from pushing 1.4V through them just during normal usage, not even Prime95. Literally weeks of usage.

Anti intel circlejerk ahoy.
