In response to the recent news that a microcode bug had been discovered affecting how some of its CPUs boost clock speeds, Intel has posted an update on the matter via its Community forum. While there are no fresh details about the instability issue, the post clarifies what BIOS settings should be used for the unlocked K-variants of 13th and 14th Gen Core i5, i7, and i9 processors.
All this began earlier in the year, when various reports came to light from Core i9 13900K and 14900K owners who were running into stability issues in games that used Unreal Engine. One team at Epic, the developers of UE, pointed the finger of blame directly at Intel for this, who in turn then redirected the blame at motherboard vendors using non-default power and current settings in the BIOS.
