Some Intel 13th and 14th gen desktop processors have been failing. It’s big news.
Per Intel, the root causes for the 13th gen are excessive voltage and oxidation issue. The root cause for the 14th gen is excessive voltage. They’ll release a patch to fix the voltage issue. The oxidation is a manufacturing issue so it’s a big deal. Can’t be fixed with any software update. Intel’s statement lacked details. They didn’t say which specific processors are problematic and the specific batches of processors with the oxidation issue. Their statement re the oxidation had a contradiction. This is just Intel’s statement and this whole thing may be bigger than what it seems.
I’m wondering if there are many Filipinos experiencing failures. I guess 💻 is more famous than desktop in 🇵🇭, but there are Filipino desktop enthusiasts. Anyone here who had a failure?
