You can't draw that conclusion from that data. They state, point blank, that they adjust the Motherboard defaults themselves. Most people do not, and most people don't build their own machines.Just for the record, the stability/degredation issues of Intel 13th/14th gen processors have been massively overblown: https://www.pugetsystems.com/blog/2024/ ... ty-issues/
This isn't an endorsement of them over other options, but it needed to be said.
The only thing that you can argue specifically from that data is that if you follow their guidance, failures follow a distribution not dissimilar from other CPUs. So, if you want a reliable 14th gen, either order from them, or, build your own with a new CPU and follow their guidance, or, validate that other manufacturers also follow their guidance.
What their own data shows is that by following their guidance, Intel CPUs in 13th/14th gen are still higher than 12th gen. What their data does not show is the relative comparison of 13th/14th gen to 12th gen, or AMD, from motherboard manufacturers, or, the vast majority of PC builders that people actually buy from.
Cynical me thinks that they want to remain competitive in the space and so have to "sell" the idea that selling 13th/14th gen if fine, without making it too obvious that they are doing so. I suspect that they know that they have plenty of customer's who insist in Intel over AMD and they want those customers to feel confident. I don't doubt their data, but I do doubt that their data is representative of the industry wide picture. I also don't think that we're going to get that data because it would largely have to come from Intel and I think that it would do more damage than good.
