The tester in the article says he hasn't had this happen on his daily use machine, and that it seems to only happen under very strenuous workloads. Most people should be fine but there's still a risk.

I wouldn't go for hardware with known flaws like that. You never know what you are vulnerable to. Who knows, maybe someone finds out how you can abuse this flaw with JavaScript or something. It seems to me like AMD bit off more than they can chew.

#6I have the same with a Kaby Lake laptop btw (XPS 13) where random segfaults happen. This is with the very latest BIOS update from a day or two ago. Modern CPUs suck.

Can we all switch to Xeons and ? Or do those have similar issues?

#8In some respects this is vastly better than a once-a-month fault. AMD have a better chance of reproducing it even if, clock speeds being what they are these days, the are a tonne of instructions churning between events.

Kaby Lake Xeons exist.
