  • 70/30% of the logs, not of the errors. It’s equivalent to what you’re thinking of as market share. (I can’t really blame you for misunderstanding, though; this article is poorly written.)

    The proportion of errors is better explained in another article:

    In fact, for one particular type of error (decompression, a commonly performed operation in games), there was a total of 1,584 that occurred in the databases Level1Techs sifted through, and an alarming 1,431 of those happened with a 13900K or 14900K. Yes – that’s 90% of those decompression errors hitting just two specific CPUs.

    As for other processors, the third most prevalent was an old Intel Core i7 9750H (Coffee Lake laptop CPU) – which had a grand total of 11 instances. All AMD processors in total had just 4 occurrences of decompression errors in these game databases.

    In case you were thinking that AMD chips might be really underrepresented here, hence that very low figure, well, they’re not – 30% of the CPUs in the database were from Team Red.



















  • I find this to either be a lie or self inflicted.

    “I’ve never experienced what you describe, so it must be either imagined or your own fault.”

    I’ve seen this nonsense over and over again in communities of all kinds, most often in tech forums (where there are always a few participants suffering from a big-fish-little-pond effect). It’s a very rude and foolish bit of human behavior.

    There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
