cannot comment on sales, but Intel is not to be ignored
not everyone will pop the lid, that being said the longevity of an Intel CPU is worth considering - which apparently some do (?)
I do not use CPUs as heat sources, but were I to do so it would never be an AMD CPU due to the IHS TIM joint
- CPU heat is just heat, source size/TIM joint only difference
I have burned up early TTVs, I have never had an internal TIM joint separation, but I have sucked bonded TCs out of the groove while removing sinks (and pulled sockets off the board !)
the IHS succeptability to internal detachment depends on the TIM material, an AMD problem I believe (could be wrong, eh)
BTW, IF IHS detachment is an AMD issue, wth is all this Intel TTV crap with no known instances of a TTV debonding ?
'what if' is such fun
