In the West, there is no personnel to compete in the world markets: the company "Intel" is hit by a scandal due to the poor quality of computer processors, it will lay off thousands of workers

 

"Processor maker Intel is reportedly cutting jobs as it faces a dismal profit report and a deepening scandal over shoddy production.

 

 Processor maker Intel is set to cut thousands of jobs, according to a new report from Bloomberg. It's another blow to the chip giant, which has struggled with processor quality.

 

 Intel is expected to report second-quarter earnings on Thursday, and it will share plans to lay off thousands of workers from its current 110,000 workforce, according to an anonymous Bloomberg source. Intel began cutting jobs in October, 2022 and has not stopped since then - only in 2023 canceled 5 percent of all its employees, writes Gizmodo.

 

 The anticipated job cuts are just the latest bad news for Intel. Customers with 13th and 14th generation Intel processors have been experiencing issues for several months. These chips were plagued by constant failures and so-called "blue death screens", especially when playing computer games. Members of the video game community have recently been sharing warnings online not to use computers with Intel processors.

 

 In April, another chip company, NVIDIA, pointed the finger at Intel. In early July, the developers of the popular free-to-play video game Warframe shared statistics about a recent wave of crashes.

 

 "After summarizing hundreds of player reports, we found a pattern: almost all of them came from systems with 13th and 14th generation Intel processors," the developers said on the Warframe forums.

 

 People who tried to figure out the problem suspected that it was related to improper voltage management of the processors. Finally, Intel confirmed this and admitted that the flaw was also found in older 13th and 14th generation processors.

 

 July 22 Intel has finally acknowledged the voltage issues in the processors and that it will release code in mid-August to fix the problem. The problem is that the aforementioned voltage management issues can shorten its life, hurt performance, or even permanently damage the chip,

 

 According to The Verge, Intel processors come with a three-year warranty, so there's a chance that people whose chips have "baked" can send them back to the manufacturer for a replacement. The Verge asked if Intel plans to extend this warranty, fix it, or replace defective chips, but Intel has not yet responded."
