NV whent and shipped every chipset and mobile non g92 part for like 3 years that was ROHS compliant with the bad solder and the chips disconnected from the boards, it wasnt from specs or anything other than NV being stupid or not caring to redesign chips that were meant for led solder.

Read the lawsuit. It isn't BS at all. If you check out the documents filed and read the official press releases, this is about AMD misreporting the thermal characteristics of their chips. They sent information to Quanta, Quanta used that information to design thermal management solutions that were supposed to (if AMD's information was accurate) efficiently disperse the chip's heat. Instead, AMD's chips went OVER their stated TDP envelope, overwhelmed the cooling solution and essentially caused a large amount of RMA due to malfunctioning notebooks.

That's pretty serious stuff IMO but as the article stated, the fact that this couldn't be settled out of court is very surprising.
i guess u would most likely be right, but if u ever used one of their laptops they were bound to kill whatever chips were in them, the chips im 100% sure were not speced for passive cooling and thats what those laptops basically use.
