Smells like a future class action lawsuit to me.

You mean the type where the lawyers get eight figure payouts and you get a ten dollar check?

There are reports that the vouchers handed out were canceled before anyone could use them.

Yes. Problem is, this is the only way our system of justice allows for keeping companies accountable. They still pay out the nose on their end.

However, in this case, there's a lot of big companies that would also be part of the class. Some from oem desktop systems in offices, and also for some servers. The 13\14900k has a lot of cores, and there's quite a few server motherboards that accept it. It was often a good choice over going Xeon or EPYC.

Those companies are now looking over at the 7950x, noticing it's faster, uses less power, and doesn't crash.

They're not going to be satisfied with a $10 check.
