After a couple of weeks in the dark, we've now received official word from Intel about the cause of instability issues seemingly plaguing its high-end 13th and 14th Gen CPUs. We've also been told how Intel's planning on fixing it.
An Intel spokesperson tells us: "Based on extensive analysis of Intel Core 13th/14th Gen desktop processors returned to us due to instability issues, we have determined that elevated operating voltage is causing instability issues in some 13th/14th Gen desktop processors. Our analysis of returned processors confirms that the elevated operating voltage is stemming from a microcode algorithm resulting in incorrect voltage requests to the processor."
