UPDATE 23/07/24 10:28am: Intel has responded to the controversy surrounding instabilities in its 13th and 14th generation Core processors. Here’s the statement and a proposed resolution, but reports suggest the root cause of the problem has yet to be determined, nor has Intel offered any guidance on how to mitigate potential damage in the short term before the revised BIOS updates set to hit a few weeks from now. The statement reads:
Original Story: It’s a packed DF Direct this week, with 15 discussion points over 135 minutes – but it’s the state of play with Intel’s 14th and 15th generation Core products I’d like to focus on this week. I highly recommend watching this video from Level1Techs to get some idea of the challenge facing Intel here – it seems that the most performant CPUs within the Raptor Lake line-up are exhibiting instabilities that lead to crashing and despite the problem being identified months ago, Intel either hasn’t identified what the issue, or – more worryingly – doesn’t want to tell us what the problem is.
