- Intel’s 13th and 14th generation processors recently suffered from crashing, instability, and various other issues.
- The company has finally recognized that very high voltages were to blame for the problem.
- It states that a fix is being worked on and will be deployed next month to address the problem.
For some time now, Intel’s 13th and 14th-generation CPUs have been suffering from instability issues, crashes, and blue screens. As the company worked on finding the root of these problems, the reports were increasing day by day.
The situation eventually got out of hand, and similar reports began showing up in laptop chips. To fix this issue, many motherboard manufacturers released BIOS updates, which changed some settings.
However, this did little to solve the problem. Intel has now issued an official statement on the matter.
Why it matters: Intel’s CPUs are used by millions of home computers, gaming PCs, and server systems, making this widespread issue a huge deal for the company.
According to the company, the issue was caused by very high voltages. Intel promises to fix this problem with the microcode update in August.
It claims that this unnecessarily high voltage is caused by a microcode algorithm that sends the processor the wrong voltage demands. With this reasoning in place, it is clear that Intel will soon release a patch.
Additionally, Intel stated that oxidation-related manufacturing problems affected some 13th-generation CPUs. Fortunately, this was resolved in 2023. It states that the reports of instability that followed and caused so much harm had nothing to do with it.
Server companies had already alerted Intel of the issue and threatened to work with AMD if it did not offer a quick fix. Since Intel CPU instability was a prominent issue in server systems, AMD started to become the main choice for server providers.
