One multi billion dollar company with teams of lawyers and product specialists sues another multi billion dollar company over a potentially defective product and you call BS? Is that a knee jerk reaction or something?

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.
