AMD Ryzen 7000 Burning Out: Impacts all 7000 processors

And I personally have an 8700k in my home machine.

I work in a large company, I'm not really involved with anything or anyone working on CPUs. I have no internal knowledge of anything in this area.

And I'm just pointing out how the statements of evidence presented here don't naturally lead to this conclusion as seem to be implied - not that this conclusion isn't correct, or some opinion about the quality of the hardware and software involved. I'm trying my best to not involve my opinion, and instead actually stick to the known facts. Which is my issue with this story as written.

I'm not sure if you're reading the same statements, but the ones I've seen explicitly don't admit fault.

You aren't acknowledging the fact that four ODMs have come forward and said they plan to limit the SoC voltages -- the very issue cited -- in future firmware revisions. They have communicated this through public statements that you or anyone else can read. They aren't changing these settings for their health, or taking the PR damage for no reason whatsoever. You appear to be a bit uninformed, but I think your affiliation with your company might have clouded your interest in actually studying the issues before you comment. Here are the statements:
