Fix coming for Intel's long-running stability problems with 13th and 14th Gen CPUs. Microcode will fix voltage problems once and for all without affecting performance,

Intel has apparently finally gotten to the bottom of its long-running CPU instability issues and will deliver a fix in August, company officials said on Monday. The company said “elevated operating voltage” due to a “microcode algorithm” is to blame for months of seemingly random instability issues that have plagued an unknown number of 13th gen

The first reports of instability issues with the 13th-gen Intel desktop CPUs started popping up in late 2022, mere months after the models came out. Those issues persisted, and over time, users reported dealing with unexpected and sudden crashes on PCs equipped with the company's 14th-gen CPUs,

Intel says it has found the source of the widespread instability issues affecting its Core 13th and 14th Gen processors. In an update on Monday, Intel confirmed that CPUs are experiencing “elevated operating voltage” and that a patch is on the way.

The other issue is that the crashing problem might go beyond Intel’s desktop CPUs. Alderon Games also alleges that laptops built with Intel 13th and 14th gen mobile chips are cr
