As some of you who possibly follow the latest daily PC Tech news will already know for the past few months, Intel has major problems with its 13th and 14th Gen CPU’s, with degradation/oxidisation and degrading performance resulting in high failure rates. The cause is not ‘fully explained’ yet and no definite robust detailed statements from Intel on how they will help impacted users of the CPU’s concerned.
Major impact for Intel as their share price has fallen severely, as investors loose confidence in Intel’s ability to now produce reliable CPU’s. Intel has lost around 40 billion dollars over the past few days alone and now shedding employees in an effort to save money.
For those of you using one of their impacted 13th/14th Gen CPU’s, please check your Motherboard vendor for any updated drivers/BIOS you can apply, to at least reduce the higher voltage aspect which appears to be part of the problem that is causing some of the issues.
Intel will also be releasing a ‘Microcode’ CPU update around mid-August, they hope might address part of the problem and reduce the risk of CPU degradation to 13th/14th Gen CPU’s currently not showing signs of degradation.
