How is this surprising? It's not exactly easy to hit something so small with something designed to hit large targets.... if you make fun of them at least do it with harder targets.
TBF no one really knows how strong or weak Russia is except the Russians themselves. Ukraine on the other hand is completely fck-d no matter what happens.
It's a weird time for CPU's with the last two intel gens also having high failure rates.
Whatever you do it's a gamble but personally I have never had a single CPU or RAM stick ever fail on me, it's always been mobo's.
What pisses me off is obviously team red is not going to take advantage of this by doing better... they are going to use it as an excuse to get lazy.... and even more CPU's are probably going to explode.
