    “Gamers Nexus, on the other hand, thinks the issue is more deep rooted and originates from a foundry-level fault.”

    • The GN piece makes it very clear that this claim is not definitely true but is a line of inquiry.
    • Intel statement does not definitely exclude this hypothesis, the flawed CPU might need the lower voltage to work around the flaw.
    • The obvious question this article does not address is what will be the performance hit for the patched parts?

    That’s a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.
