There are many issues that Intel has experienced in recent years, and that is that the processors of the last two generations that currently exist have a instability which can cause their chips to become completely unusable. Although it has been difficult for them to admit it, they are aware that the problem is in their processors, which is why they are going to make some updates to the microcode they have and which is the cause of these issues of stability of the Intel Core.
One of the biggest problems that Intel has had in recent years, and for which they have received a great deal of criticism, is related to the instability presented by the models of their processors of the 13th and 14th generations. At first they tried to blame the motherboard manufacturers for offering profiles of overclock that were not within the company’s plans, as well as the configurations that users could have to achieve greater performance, but obviously, the root of the problem was in the CPUs themselves.
Intel’s instability problems continue
A few months ago we saw how many people started to complain that their Intel processors were experiencing a large number of situations in which when running a game or workloads that require a lot of power, they began to experience the legendary blue screen. The BSOD, according to users, was sudden and could end up completely destroying the processor, and the problem went beyond what many could believe, since it is located in the processor itself, as Intel has recognized.
In these cases, what happens is that the processor sometimes has a workload that is too high and could request a greater amount of energy than it can handle. This, as we know, implies a much higher voltage, which can end up destroying the CPU. And this is indeed what has happened to many users, leaving the chip completely unusable and unable to do practically anything.
The company recently acknowledged that the problem was in its chips, and that in mid-August they would release a microcode update to fix this error, also indicating that any customer who has or has had issues of instability in its CPU desktop should contact customer service Intel to try to solve the problem.
The big thing about this is that we now know that the Intel Cores affected are not only the most powerful i9 and i7 models, since according to the company, even the lower-performance versions configured at 65W can present these stability problems. This failure is extremely large, since it is not only limited to processors created for overclock, something that seemed to be quite obvious, but it is widespread, and is that the failure also affects the main non-K models and their K/KF/KS counterparts.
