FYI, after over 30 years of using Intel CPUs I’m switching to AMD because I feel deceived by Intel. For two years Intel didn’t inform us about the via oxidation issues and that’s not ok.
It seems to me that you might have misunderstood my point. I asked the question because it’s possible that OP isn’t aware of a known bug that affects Intel 13th and 14th gen CPUs.
Ryzen 7 7800X3D doesn’t suffer from the problems currently affecting Intel’s 13th and 14th gen processors and that’s the harsh truth
The issues with crashes to desktop (CTD) potentially caused by Intel’s 13th and 14th generation processors were also mentioned by MSFS CS staff, so I won’t elaborate further.
Its worth a mention that there isn’t and won’t be a flawless AMD or Intel CPU.
