Intel has identified the source of the widespread instability issues affecting its Core 13th and 14th Gen processors. The problem stems from an elevated operating voltage caused by a microcode algorithm, resulting in incorrect voltage requests to the processor. Intel has acknowledged the issue and is working on a microcode patch for motherboard manufacturers, which is expected to be released in mid-August. In the meantime, those affected are advised to contact Intel support for assistance. Despite previous guidance and motherboard BIOS updates, the instability problem has not been fully resolved, leading to increased pressure on Intel to address the issue. Reports of game crashes and negative recommendations from developers and experts have highlighted the urgency for Intel to provide a solution.
