Oct. 7 (Portaltic/EP) –

Intel has identified the cause of the instability problems experienced by users of Intel Core 13Gen and 14Gen desktop processors, and has announced a BIOS update that it will release with motherboard manufacturers in the coming weeks.

For several months now, numerous users of computers equipped with processors 13th and 14th generation Intel Core for desktops have been experiencing instability problems, especially while playing video games.

At this time, the root cause of the problem remained to be known, something that Intel assures that it has already identified in a tree clock circuit within the AI ​​coreas explained on his official blog.

“It is particularly vulnerable to aging reliability under elevated voltage and temperature,” and in these circumstances, “it can cause a change in the duty cycle of the clocks and the observed system instability“he details.

Intel also noted that it is already working with motherboard manufacturers so they can install the update in the BIOS of microcode 0x12B, although this may still take several weeks.
