For months, Intel\u2019s highest-end desktop gaming processors have had a strange tendency to occasionally make games crash<\/a> \u2014 and despite what you might have seen earlier today, Intel says it doesn\u2019t have a final fix for its 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core i9 \u201cRaptor Lake\u201d and \u201cRaptor Lake S\u201d chips just yet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cContrary to recent media reports, Intel has\u00a0not\u00a0<\/em>confirmed root cause and is continuing, with its partners, to investigate user reports regarding instability issues on unlocked Intel Core 13th and 14th generation (K\/KF\/KS) desktop processors,\u201d reads a statement via Intel spokesperson Thomas Hannaford. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It continues: \u201cThe microcode patch referenced in press reports\u00a0fixes an eTVB bug discovered by Intel while investigating the instability reports. While this issue is potentially contributing to instability, it is not the root cause.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Intel\u2019s official statement references (and partially confirms) leaked internal Intel documents obtained by Igor\u2019s Lab <\/em>earlier today<\/a>. Those documents suggest that part of the problem is how Intel\u2019s chips have been erroneously overclocking their own cores, using a feature called Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (eTVB), even when they should have known they were running too hot to do that. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cRoot cause is an incorrect value in a microcode algorithm associated with the eTVB feature,\u201d that leaked document began. It continued:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Failure Analysis (FA) of 13th and 14th Generation K SKU processors indicates a shift in minimum operating voltage on affected processors resulting from cumulative exposure to elevated core voltages. Intel\u00ae analysis has determined a confirmed contributing factor for this issue is elevated voltage input to the processor due to previous BIOS settings which allow the processor to operate at turbo frequencies and voltages even while the processor is at a high temperature.\u00a0Previous generations of Intel\u00ae K SKU processors were less sensitive to these type of settings due to lower default operating voltage and frequency.<\/em><\/p>\n

Intel\u00ae requests all customers to update BIOS to microcode 0x125 or later by 7\/19\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n

This microcode includes an eTVB fix for an issue which may allow the processor to enter a higher performance state even when the processor temperature has exceeded eTVB thresholds<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But while Intel confirms eTVB was potentially part of the problem, it\u2019s apparently not the \u201croot cause\u201d of the whole issue. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here\u2019s hoping we get a full fix soon. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
