So rumors or statements have been going out about the 5000 series having high failure rates.
At first i threw it off as rumors from PowerGPU due to them pulling the thread.
But now PCMag has also confirmed some troubling issues with the silicon.
I'm not saying AMD is at fault here, i think something might be wrong with TSMC's 7nm.
The problem also does not only lie in the CPU.
I'm also hearing very bad things about the motherboards (B550 and X570).
About USB issues in general.
There are a lot of threads like this popping out on Reddit and other tech forums outside ours:
To me honestly this is sort of disturbing.
I can always write off one thing as just bad building, but when its slowly catching fire and momentum, it has to make you wonder.
Is it memory compatibility or again, is something wrong with TSMC?
Maybe a mouse got in the waffer and thought it was real and took a off it? (sarcasm)
Seriously tho, you guys think this is all just hype or whose at fault here?
TSMC rushing production, or AMD's 7nm arch?

If You Buy an AMD Ryzen 5000 CPU, Make Sure You Keep the Box
A PC DIY vendor company sparks controversy by claiming AMD Ryzen 5000 chips have an unusually high failure rate. I also received a bad CPU in November, and it was a hassle to build with and return.
