Intel remotely knows how to block their processors

This news came from pikabu.ru, where Russian users began to massively complain about the "breakdown" of Intel processors after updating the driver. It is noteworthy that the manufacturing company does not deny this fact. Explaining this by the pressure of the world community to impose sanctions against the aggressor country. Naturally, the number 1 brand in the processor market raises many questions.

 

Intel remotely knows how to block their processors

 

For example, what guarantees do users in other countries have that Intel will not “kill” the processor at the end of the warranty period. And what are the guarantees that hackers will not be able to write code that can selectively kill Intel processors around the world.

How not to remember Apple, which admitted to the public that slowing down processors on iPhone smartphones. Yesterday Apple, today Intel. Tomorrow we will expect a catch from Samsung and LG with remotely eliminated TVs. Agree that to drive into the framework of the user is low and wrong.

 

Most buyers take equipment on credit, counting on long-term operation. With Apple, okay - the iPhone is the lot of the rich and successful. These people will buy themselves a new smartphone like a pair of socks. Another thing is Intel. Processors are installed in 65% of users worldwide. And it's scary to imagine that the manufacturer has a button for their remote destruction.

This is real thrash. Today the manufacturer likes you, and tomorrow he simply interferes in your personal life. It is clear that you can disable software updates. But the price of the processor also includes updates that the manufacturer must perform. Intel has compromised itself. Customers who were planning to upgrade to Socket 1700 have already switched to AMD products. Hopefully, Intel will suffer serious losses in 2022. Otherwise, a dim future awaits us all.
