Linus Torvalds has explained why he's so "fed up with" Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and other such vendors due to their "buggy hardware".

Intel processors, especially their 13th and 14th Gen desktop chips, have been under intense scrutiny due to instability issues. As such, the company has finally announced extended warranties.
There may be a bug or an issue on Intel CPUs, especially those belonging to the 13th Gen and packing many cores. The bug is leading to BSOD or crashes while gaming with an "out of video memory" error.
Microsoft has issued a workaround for a bug that is triggering BSODs on startup fails on Windows Server 2022 virtual machines on VMware ESXi. It notes that EPYC systems with IOMMU, VBS are affected.
Microsft denied it was at fault for Windows BSODs that were freaking users out over Unsupported CPU messages even on the latest chips. Intel has confirmed today that the Redmond giant was right.
Microsoft and Intel, last month, confirmed a new CPU vulnerability called Downfall (GDS) which affects 7th, 8th 9th, 10th, and 11th Gen CPUs. The former has since deleted its mitigation-removal.
A "UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR" issue has been affecting Intel chips this week since the latest Windows updates. While trying to address the issue, Microsoft claims its updates aren't at fault.
AMD's fTPM had been causing stuttering and freezing issues first on Windows, and then on Linux too. As such, Linux boss Linus Torvalds has now suggested disabling fTPM entirely on Ryzen.
An AMD fTPM side channel security flaw dubbed "faulTPM" has been discovered by researchers. This security bug can even bypass BitLocker and it affects modern Windows 11-supported Ryzen chips.
The fTPM bug which was causing stuttering and freezing issues on AMD Ryzen CPUs in Windows 11 and Windows 10 has now started affecting Linux as well. The bug was triggered after a Linux 6.1 patch.
According to reports, the latest firmware update AGESA 1.0.0.4 for AMD AM5 motherboards is causing major performance loss and boot fails on Ryzen 7000 series. The core layout is apparently to blame.
