Intel has acknowledged a bug in the microcode affecting the boost clock speeds of some of its CPUs and has provided an update on the issue. This bug has been causing stability issues in games that use Unreal Engine, and Intel initially shifted blame to motherboard suppliers for using non-default power and current settings in … Read more
A critical bug has been discovered in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) that could potentially impact hundreds of Intel-powered PC models. This bug, known as “UEFIcanhazbufferoverflow,” affects the Phoenix SecureCore UEFI Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and allows attackers to gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code within the UEFI firmware. This vulnerability could potentially … Read more
Intel’s high-end desktop CPUs, particularly the Core i9 and Core i7 processors in the 13th and 14th generation families, have been experiencing stability issues during certain games and applications. The root cause of these crashes has not been identified by Intel, but they are actively working on it. A recent report from Igor’s laboratory claimed … Read more
Intel has confirmed a faulty algorithm in the eTVB feature on 13th and 14th generation CPUs, causing stability issues and increased voltage. The root cause is not the microcode for this feature, but a new patch in a BIOS update aims to fix a separate bug. Reports of instability in these 13th and 14th generation … Read more
Intel has recently addressed a bug in its microcode affecting the boost clock speeds of some of its CPUs, specifically the 13th and 14th generation Core i5, i7, and i9 processors. This issue has led to instability problems in certain games due to non-default BIOS settings used by motherboard suppliers. Intel has issued guidance on … Read more
Intel has acknowledged instability issues with their 13th and 14th generation chips and has released a new BIOS fix to address the problem. The issues were attributed to a combination of faulty microcode in the Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (eTVB) feature and high input voltages causing elevated temperatures in the CPUs. Despite initial claims that … Read more
