From TMF: Why AMD chips are so fragile We all know about the fragility of AMD's newest CPU's and I think I've figured out the reason why. Market Share (chip shipments) Everytime you snap your AMD chip when your installing it, you have to go out and buy another one. Quite a few websites warn you to be careful when installing the chips because of the danger of them cracking. If an "expert" like Tom (Tom's Hardware) or Anand (anandtech.com) break the chips when installing them, then how many home users are doing it? So for every broken chip, AMD gets to consider it as two chips shipped. The original one and the replacement one. If a user has already dumped $300-400 into a motherboard and the necessary memory, they aren't going to put them aside and say they tried. IMO, Rob boards.fool.com
