Intel's Raptor Lake chips will run more stably

The performance of the 13th and 14th generation Core Raptor Lake processors has been fixed by the company and now users will not have stability issues. However, for the already affected chips Intel has not yet implemented solutions, users can only get an extended warranty.


Intel Core 13th and 14th generation processors have been found to have irreversible degradation during higher operating voltages. The company admitted the problem in the microcode algorithms.

In September of this year, an update was released to protect against possible failures on the processors, and the solution does prevent possible functioning problems.


Now, Intel has also stated some measures that will be able to minimize the negative impact on the chips after a malfunction. In addition, a representative of the company stated that the rest of the chips will no longer have this problem.

The issue was that the eTVB microcode algorithm allowed the processors to work even during significant temperature overshoot. This algorithm problem was fixed as early as June of this year.

The high voltage request was due to the SVID algorithm microcode, which affected the stability of the operation. And since August, the microcode no longer responds to high voltage requests. The company has released microcode 0x12B which incorporates previous updates and completely fixes the current voltage issue.


With the use of the latest BIOS update, users can prevent the chip degradation issue. Nevertheless, if there is an issue with the 13th and 14th generation chips they can be returned under warranty. All users have access to a 2-year warranty and can contact the manufacturer if necessary.
