This seems like deflection to me. There’s no reproducer, no technical info, no objective facts besides what is basically a meta study that lumps their code quality with intel’s hardware correctness as one metric.

If it’s as they say, switching to AMD shouldn’t lead to 100x fewer crashes, it should lead to no crashes.

Lumping both 13th and 14th gen hardware together makes it harder to take the claims as easily at face value. 13th gen have been around long enough that you’d think they’d be able to dig up a kernel mailing list bug report or some other corroboration of their accusation.

I clicked expecting basically an undocumented errata with specific, 100% reproducible instructions and a deep dive into the internal architecture changes that could have caused this. I’m tempted to flag the submission, honestly. Claims of such magnitude demand at least some baseline evidence.
