Since 2025, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 6 times, most often “How Intel makes sure the FDIV bug never happens again”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-09-23, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The one comment cites a Chip Log post on the DRAM market as background for the 2023 RAM glut, when Micron lost money and memory makers had little to invest. It does not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Deep dives into memory, compute, and all things ASIC/SoC engineering.

I think it's important to note the context though: There had been a RAM glut that meant Micron lost money every quarter in 2023, with revenue almost halving vs 2022. This was post-pandemic, and demand had dropped a huge amount. The RAM companies didn't have money to invest. https://www.chiplog.io/p/dram-was-the-worst-business-in-chip...
