The news is about Core i9 CPUs, which are the enthusiast / possibly workstation offering by Intel with high single core clock speeds. Amazon, Google and Microsoft use server CPUs which usually don't feature such high speeds, but rather focus on more cores and more possible RAM.

However, if a vendor sells a product with the main feature of high clock speeds and the product fails when I'm using that exact feature for prolonged periods of time, I'd say it's faulty.

Amazon, Google and Microsoft probably do mostly use server CPUs, but I'd be surprised if there weren't a few special projects that used specialized desktop CPUs. And, at their scale "a few special projects" probably means a few hundred machines.

But yeah, clearly these CPUs are faulty.
