Abstract: We show that the very general (3,3) complete intersection in $mathbb{P}^7$ over an algebraically closed uncountable field of characteristic different from 2 admits no decomposition of the diagonal, in particular it is not retract rational. This strengthens Nicaise--Ottem's result, where stable irrationality in characteristic 0 was shown. The main tool is a Chow-theoretic obstruction which was found by Pavic--Schreieder, where quartic fivefolds are studied.
