Did Intel really compromise the integrity and structure of the CPUs PCB just to save a few shekels?
Maybe.
We don't know the real reasons for making them thinner.
We will fight for the right of the OP to shill for our services and we will deposit 5 shekels to his corporate account.

holy shit intel fags are pathetic

Why does it feel like you're almost breaking the chip when inserting it correctly? It even leaves visible indents on the heat spreader.

If handled with care, these situations never happen.
When people play with CPU like they are baseball or something, these things happen.
Its not Intel jewed out on structural integrity of the chips, but rather retards didn't know how to handle computer equipment or more likely were absolutely negligent or had deliberate intention of destroying the CPU.

Its not to save money, the package is actually more expensive to manufacture. They're catering to all the ultrabook manufacturers who are trying to make laptops as thin as a pencil.
>>59127366
What? Yes we do. They developed thinner packages to reduce Z height to better suit the mobile market. The desktop chips have a similarly thin package to keep signaling consistent.

The joyous sound of building an intel based system. Theres nothing like the panicked fear of potentially breaking a brand new CPU before you even got the 24pin plugged into the board.
The tension lock used on the socket is what causes it. Because theres nothing physically stopping the chip from wobbling around otherwise, theres needs to be a high degree of downward pressure to keep it friction fit. If the chip could freely wiggle 1mm or 2 in any direction once seated then you run into a whole host of potential complications.

Goodby warranty.
You installed this backwards. We can tell by the marks. Please send $500 for a new chip. -Intel customer service.

They did. So mobo makers had to foot the bill.
They also got rid of soldered heatspreaders because it involves gold. and energy.
Now they're bringing it back as an upgrade to try and reel back the hordes leaving the intel teat.

That's not mine. I just grabbed some image from the internet that shows similar marks. The CPU works flawlessy.

Just saying. They're kikes, they use that as a reason should it ever fail.
