Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen desktop CPUs have been plagued by instability reports for months, leading to concerns from gamers and visual effects companies. The issue has escalated in recent weeks due to reports of alarming failure rates. Intel has acknowledged the voltage issue and stated that it will be corrected in August with a new microcode update. As a leading PC hardware manufacturer, MSI has joined the conversation, releasing a statement regarding the Intel CPU instability issue.
MSI confirmed that they have been working closely with Intel to understand the situation. They are committed to providing a BIOS update to their affected customers as soon as possible, following the release of the new microcode in mid-August. While MSI’s statement acknowledges the issue, it provides limited details about the extent of the problem and the number of customers potentially affected.
The Verge conducted an interview with Intel’s Thomas Hannaford over the weekend, shedding more light on the issue. The interview emphasized the importance of updating to the latest BIOS once it becomes available in August for users of 13th or 14th Gen Intel Core desktop processors with an MSI motherboard.
The situation highlights the importance of staying updated on hardware and software developments to ensure optimal performance and avoid potential issues.
