Intel says instability issue with 13th/14th generation CPUs has been completely resolved

As we reported in this articlea Intel is facing one of the worst crises in its history. One of the main problems in this chaotic panorama of the company is the observation of instability in the performance of chips. 13th and 14th generation. The company has been working for months to understand the scope of the case and also to resolve the issue.

Chasing the loss

According to the company, the problem has already reached the completely resolved stage. In late September, Intel released a microcode update to address the issue. This summerOx12B, has already been adopted by many motherboard manufacturers who have released new UEFI firmware based on this Intel fix. “Yes, let’s check that it is corrected”said Thomas Hannaford, an Intel spokesman in note sent to The Verge.

This Ox12B update is the last update from Intel regarding this instability issue. With the fixes, the company says that CPUs will no longer face incorrect voltage usage, both in idle mode and in tasks.

The company also highlighted that the instability problem only affected desktop processors, mobile versions went unharmed. “Intel reaffirms that Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen mobile processors and future product families – including codenamed Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake – are not affected by Vmin Shift Instability.

Voltage fluctuations cause permanent damage to chips. Therefore, the microcode update does not help affected chips. In this case, you need to change the processor. Intel even increased the warranty for two affected chips by 2 years.
