Jacob got his hands on a gaming PC for the first time when he was about 12 years old. He swiftly realised the local PC repair store had ripped him off with his build and vowed never to let another soul build his rig again. With this vow, Jacob the hardware junkie was born.
After a couple of weeks in the dark, we've now received official word from Intel about the cause of instability issues seemingly plaguing its high-end 13th and 14th Gen CPUs. We've also been told how Intel's planning on fixing it.
Regarding a fix for this microcode issue, we're told,"Intel is delivering a microcode patch which addresses the root cause of exposure to elevated voltages. We are continuing validation to ensure that scenarios of instability reported to Intel regarding its Core 13th/14th Gen desktop processors are addressed. Intel is currently targeting mid-August for patch release to partners following full validation.
Now, it seems, there's confirmation from Intel that"elevated operating voltage" is the root cause, but this isn't an inherent flaw to the chips and is instead caused by a microcode algorithm which Intel's hoping to roll out patches for come mid-August. This, presumably, will mean partnered motherboard vendors rolling out UEFI/BIOS updates for affected CPU users to flash and install.
