Do people not realise that it's actually physically dangerous to solder Intel chips?
Every time you melt indium on top of silicon you'll get tiny cracks on the processor's die. Those cracks will get larger and can permanently damage the processor if the thermal resistance increases too much or the solder preform cracks entirely.
The occurrence of void and cracks is affected by the solder area: thus the die size. Small die size CPUs (below 130 mm2) such as Skylake or Kaby Lake will substantially facilitate void occurrence and cracking. However, CPUs with a medium-to-large die size (above 270 mm2) such as Haswell-E or Ryzen show no noticeable increase in cracking during thermal cycling.
Does everyone think Intel avoids soldering just to spite AMD because it's something that they do?

So anon, since you're implying that I'm shilling, what part of my post tipped you off?
Was it because I said the name "Intel" without prefacing it with the word "Fuck?"
Or was it because I mentioned "Ryzen" and "Soldering?"
I'm genuinely curious.
