This doesn't seem like the whole story, and it's awfully convenient that everything will be fixed AFTER the AMD launch next week, when they've known about this issue for over a year.

Alderon Games is accusing Intel of running damage control here.

It's not the whole story. After Intel's press release about voltage issues and an upcoming microcode patch, they quietly snuck out an admission that there is an oxidization problem after all. It smells like they're trying to downplay that and avoid having to replace their faulty CPUs.
