- Intel’s 14th and 13th generation processors are facing instability problems, initially seen in high-end desktops.
- These problems have also started to show up in laptops.
- Developers, including Alderon Games, have criticized Intel for high failure rates. There are suggestions for Intel to recall affected chips due to ongoing issues.
At first, reports of the instability problems with the Intel 14th and 13th generation lineup were limited to high-end desktop computers. Recent data, however, indicates that the instability issues may also be causing crashing in other devices, like laptops.
According to the latest comment by Alderon Games, the instability issues have now spread over to laptops powered by Raptor Lake chips. Developers have previously criticized Intel for its high failure rate with its latest-generation processors.
Why it matters: Millions of users across the globe rely on Intel chips, so this is a major problem.
Some CPU-intensive operations like Handbrake or Cinebench are also affected.
However, the majority of reported failures happened while playing games, many of which used Unreal Engine 5. Alderon founder Mathew Cassells recently recommended that Intel should recall the chips that are impacted.
Intel made its most recent announcement in late June when the company suggested BIOS adjustments to restrict voltages. However, reports of failures persist even after Intel’s recommended settings.
Alderon Games stated the issue isn’t limited to desktop CPUs after previous allegations. Regretfully, the company founder failed to identify the specific Intel CPUs with a high crash rate.
Cassells’ comments are probably putting more pressure on Intel as it gets ready to release new CPU generations later this year.
September is anticipated to see the release of Lunar Lake laptop processors, followed by Arrow Lake in October. Since Arrow Lake will be using a brand-new LGA 1851 socket, it may be a safer option than the platform that relies on the LGA 1700 socket.
