You can't make this shit up anymore, why didn't they solder the IHS on?
because 90% of the time, anyone who buys something like that is going to take the IHS off, and place the heatsink right on the die.

The one thing I REALLY don't get is why do they put the top cap back on. I mean, it's just useless thermal resistance. If you care so much about cooling anyway, just put a custom heat exchanger directly onto the die.
>>54877725
In this case its entirely cost savings. During packaging a certain number of dies still break, and they're more likely to break while an IHS is being soldered on with flux. Thermal compound pressed into place is lower risk.

No, 99.999999% of people never ever do this. The customer base for i7 Extreme processors are prosumers looking for a workstation without paying for enterprise boards and Xeons.
They are not going to delid their processors, they're going to stick it in the board, and never touch it again.
>tfw intelcucks sprung up immediately to defend this
Why are intel such jews? How hard is it to solder the heatsink on?
>>54877725
This is not Thermal Paste.
It is soldered with Indium like the other
soldered Intel cpus in the past.

Wouldn't the aluminium damage the pads on the bottom of the chip?
>>54878583
Well shilled, friend!

>>54877725
I tried to find out.
Maybe this: http://overclocking.guide/the-truth-about-cpu-soldering/
I don't understand why Intel wouldn't choose a superior method if it wouldn't cost them much but gave their consumers a better product which would make them more competitive.

Giving all the issues intel has had with their 14nm node, even up til recently with desktop Skylake, I'm willing to bet that functional 10 core 14nm dies capable of hitting target clocks are yielding single digits. The big 14nm Xeon E5s aren't exactly flowing out the doors, and they are pretty damn expensive even for an intel enterprise chip.
Basically the top binned Broadwell-E is expensive because volume is super low, and its using TIM so less are lost to packaging defect.

Am I retarded or is this shill faggot completely ignoring the fact that it's already been done plenty of fucking times already?
>>54879318
Yes, his write up is full blown damage control.
>>54879318
Ye I guess.
Does someone have a list of all Intel processors that were soldered?
>>54879305
>and its using TIM so less are lost to packaging defect.
I don't understand. Would using solder heighten the chances of killing the chips while packaging?
>>54879430
Yes. Any time you add complexity to assembly you're increasing the chance of something breaking and losing a percentage of product.
>>54879459
Oh that way, I see.
>>54877725
So he was cleaning a die with razor blade? But why?
