Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs have been plagued by instability issues, causing crashes and other problems for millions of users. Despite the widespread impact, Intel has not issued a recall or fully acknowledged the severity of the issue. This inaction has led to a class action lawsuit being filed against the company.
Abington Cole + Ellery, a law firm specializing in class action lawsuits and intellectual property, is leading the charge. The firm highlighted the issue in a recent post, acknowledging that even 65W non-K processors are affected. They explained that the instability stems from elevated operating voltages caused by a faulty microcode algorithm that incorrectly requests higher voltages.
Intel has confirmed the issue and is addressing it with a microcode patch scheduled for release to partners by mid-August 2024. The company recommends affected users contact their customer support for assistance. However, the class action lawsuit seeks compensation for users who have experienced problems due to the instability.
