Yes, it’s called binning and it’s standard practice for the entire industry. Intel, AMD, Nvidia, they all do it.

thats crazy

So my i9 is perfectly fine, but since it’s 14th gen, it’s still garbage?
Let’s hope for the best, no problems so far since BIOS Microcode Update

Finally what? I need to know! Don’t leave us hanging like that!

so just buy i9’s as they’re probably compliant in terms of QC.

The only thing wrong with this is: usually i9 chips aren’t so broken as to become i3. There’s usually up to 1 or 2 little defects on a chip.
Currently Intel makes 3 different chips for their 13th/14th gen desktop parts:
8P core + 16E core chip (For core i9, i7, sometimes i5)
6P core + 8E core chip (Mainly for core i5)
6P core chip (For core i3, and older 12th gen core i5)
Recent news about unstable intel chips are mostly about the screw up that intel had with the top 8P+16E 13th/14th gen chip, which is why i9 and i7 are affected

me and the homies love using old cpus where the i7 is top

That’s nuts, although I now understand it so it’s not nuts at all. I always understood the Silicon Lottery was a thing, but now I understand how and why.
theLuminescentlion
usually it’s only about 3 processors in that stack that are differentiated by binning. no i9 is going to be so bad that it becomes an i3 and if it were that fucked up something the i3 needs would also likely be impacted.

This is basically how any industry would work. For example juice is made by fruit that it’s considered not apt for store sellling. An in this case thats why some people call it Silicon lottery.

Youtube Channel is Branch Education. They have loads of really interesting Videos around technology and PCs with really good explanations and animations

This has been a thing for a very long time in the chip industry.
It makes sense as it improves yields a lot

where can I see the original video? The source?
