Tech Talk - Intel Issues Fix for Raptor Lake Degradation
Maximum PC|October 2024
Earlier this year, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.

Tech Talk - Intel Issues Fix for Raptor Lake Degradation

Earlier this year, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.

Everything from the Core i5-13600K and above rated for more than 65W base power, including i7 and i9 65W chips, is affected. That means T-class parts should be fine, as well as vanilla models like the Core i5-14600, but popular unlocked K-class processors are impacted. There are also reports of problems extending to server and laptop parts.
