Intel Faces Major Instability Issues with 13th and 14th Gen CPUs
Faulty microcode algorithm causing elevated voltage; fix expected in mid-August
- Intel's 13th and 14th Gen CPUs have been experiencing crashes and instability due to excessive voltage.
- The instability is traced back to a faulty microcode algorithm that incorrectly sets voltage levels.
- Intel plans to release a microcode patch in mid-August to address the issue.
- Some CPUs already affected by the problem may require replacement as the patch cannot reverse existing damage.
- Several tech companies and studios have reported high failure rates and are switching to AMD processors.
