As Europe's summer heatwave smolders on, a novel way of tracking the record-breaking temps has emerged, namely crashing Intel Raptor Lake CPUs. That's according to a Firefox developer at Mozilla (via Techspot).
The implication is that the exceptionally high ambient heat currently hitting parts of Europe is enough to push 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPUs, which famously suffer from timing and voltage issues, over the edge. On Mastodon, Gabriele Svelto says, "I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems."
