From Intel They continue to face all the problems caused by their processors, namely microcode changes and even replacement of the faulty processors who have encountered problems are not sufficient measures, mainly due to the fact that suppliers cannot provide the necessary replacements. Many users who have had problems related to these chips have looked for a way to get a new one, but the stores that sell them do not have enough stock to handle them, so they are offering refunds.
There are a large number of users concerned about the problems encountered by the latest generations of Intel processors, this is one of the main reasons why we are seeing more and more controversies around the company, and that is that there are more and more reasons for concern. The last news we had was that the company itself did not have enough stock to allow users to request a replacement and that they would have to wait several weeks, but now some suppliers are directly refunding the price of the CPUs.
Vendors Can’t Cope With Intel’s Problems, CPU Supply Is Extremely Limited
We have long observed that supply problems are quite common in the event of a general breakdown; when the most important components arrive, there is always a fairly limited stock which increases over time. But in the case of the processors of Intelligence, This is not due to a recent launch that everyone is talking about, nor a mass movement of people to buy the best processors they offer, but because of people asking for a replacement after the failures of the i9-14900K and similar.
On this occasion, many suppliers around the world are having a lot of trouble offering users a replacement for these CPUs, and there are so many users asking for a new processor that they have ended up exhausting the stock of a large number of stores. One of the most recent examples we have is that of Synnex, a company located in Hong Kong that is starting to offer refunds directly because many of the processors it receives are irreparable:
**»SYNNEX Technology International > Repair Order Number: MTMK402921 INTEL CORE I9-14900K. Since your item cannot be repaired, we will arrange a refund of HK$4,200. If the customer accepts the refund, please provide us with the relevant bank details, including (Recipient Name / Bank Name / Account Number), so that our accounting department can process the transfer. For any questions, please contact 39442347. «**.
In turn, the problem is that they cannot proceed with an exchange of the product because, as we have indicated, the large number of returns that occur are depleting stocks practically everywhere. One of the customers who requested the RMA on September 4 indicated from the beginning that he assumed that the repair and replacement could take more than a month (as we have seen on other occasions), since he was aware of what was happening with these chips, but after several days trying to find a replacement, he had to accept the refund because there was no way to get another processor.
