I do have some Supermicro servers that use Intel C2750 processors, and would have fallen into the 2013 – 2016 timeframe. They’ve been in service for awhile though. I guess there’s no way to know if they will turn into pumpkins.

The linked article was very vague however. What is the component at the heart of this, and who makes it? If it affects lowly Intel Atom boxes, it can’t be much more than a crystal oscillator?

I've seen full product listings from both vendors. They were posted to NANOG almost a week ago.

And it’s due to a certain component from a certain vendor, which we won’t tell you. And you can maybe get an advance replacement before it bricks, but only if you have a maintenance contract. And there’s probably no diagnostic to tell you ahead of time that it’s about to brick. The only good news seems to be that apparently it’s 2016 production that’s affected, and given the tendency of WISPs to only buy Juniper or Cisco stuff on the used market once the price has come down out of the stratosphere, we probably aren’t affected. More of a first world problem. Maybe the CIA will leak the information to the dishonest media and we’ll find out via CNN. Or should I be checking Breitbart and Infowars? Maybe the National Enquirer.
