Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

AMD, the semiconductor company, has issued a statement regarding reports of its X3D CPUs being damaged when used with certain ASRock motherboards. The issue appears to be related to the power delivery system on these motherboards, which may be causing the CPUs to overheat and fail. This is reminiscent of a similar situation that Intel faced in the past, where the company blamed motherboard manufacturers for issues with their CPUs. AMD has acknowledged the problem and is working closely with ASRock to resolve the issue. The company has stated that the issue is not widespread and that it is affecting a small number of users. However, it has advised customers to ensure that they are using motherboards that are compatible with their X3D CPUs and to follow the recommended power and cooling guidelines. Overall, this incident highlights the importance of manufacturers and component suppliers working together to ensure the reliability and compatibility of their products, as well as the need for consumers to carefully research and select the appropriate hardware for their system.
