In a recent community post, Intel announced that it is extending the warranties for its controversial Core 13th and 14th-gen processors by two years, providing some relief for customers worried about potential processor failures. The company found that elevated operating voltage was causing instability issues for many users, with a microcode algorithm sending incorrect voltage requests to the processor, leading to crashes. While a patch is in the works for mid-August, it may not solve existing issues. Alderon Games reported a 100 percent failure rate for these processors. Intel is dedicating resources to address the problem, recognizing it as a challenging issue that requires support for affected customers. Users are advised to contact the appropriate support teams for assistance with replacements or refunds.
