Intel has just announced a new microcode update for its 13th and 14th Gen Raptor Lake processors — the ones that could possibly get permanently damaged and begin to crash your PC. While there ...

One might have thought all the Intel stability issue malarkey was behind us, given the official 0x129 microcode fix came out back in August. However, although this update was supposed to fix the ...

If Intel's 0x12B microcode update fixes the root cause of the stability issues then, once it's out, I can recommend Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs again, provided it's an unused chip and you install ...

By the summer, Intel had tracked down one root cause of the problems and had released a microcode update to resolve it: The CPUs were making “elevated voltage requests,” which could degrade ...

Although Intel recognized the root cause of failures among 13th and 14th Generation Core 'Raptor Lake' processors in late ...

Several updates have been announced in the past few months, including one in July that promised a remedy for the issue via a microcode update. However, that was still somewhat of a band-aid on the ...

Now, alongside the results of its lengthy investigation, Intel is also rolling out a second microcode update to hopefully put these issues to bed once and for all. The root of the problem ...
