In a sense, they were partially right, while being wrong. Based on Puget’s data, it’s apparent that motherboard vendors overly aggressive default settings helped contribute to the issue being so prominent, when reasonable settings would fail at a lower rate than comparable zen CPUs.
Obviously Intel messed up badly, and those settings shouldn’t result in this behavior, but maybe this will convince system integrators to have more reasonable defaults in the future.
In a top end system, we’re already sitting in territory where our GPU is our benchmark, do we really need to default to giving the cpu so much power?
