Intel Atom chips have been dying for at least 18 months – only now is truth coming to light

Re: Many knew something smelled.

I have one of these CPUs on a ASRock board that just died. The CPU embeded board is 24 months old. I spent $299 on it because it was a "server motherboard". I should have stuck to using cheapo motherboards for $79.

Let's see how Intel handles RMAs. A lot of people may go AMD if Intel goes cheap on replacements. They should look to Samsung for advice on how to handle replacing a bad product. Fess up and do the right thing.
