The Verge website has received confirmation from Intel that the Core 13th/14th Gen CPU instability issue is being addressed through microcode updates. If a CPU has experienced problems in the past, the update will resolve the issue. Software patches are no longer effective in helping.
Intel’s spokesperson informed The Verge that this patch will help “prevent” future issues but will not “cure” previous problems. They also mentioned that excessive power surges are just one factor contributing to CPU instability, alongside other potential factors such as manufacturing flaws that Intel has already addressed. (Translated as: Is it only certain batches of CPUs that are faulty?)
Intel has confirmed that they will not issue a general recall of CPUs but have not specified how they will assist customers facing issues, whether by replacing defective CPUs or extending warranty periods.
TLDR: Intel confirms addressing CPU instability issues with microcode updates, but no general CPU recall. Assistance for affected customers remains unspecified.
