A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Key Takeaways:

  1. If you or someone you know has had any system instability issues with their 13th or 14th gen Intel processor/CPU, GN recommends on immediately filing an RMA with Intel even if a previous one was rejected.
  2. If you're an owner of a 13 or 14th gen, please update the BIOS as soon as you can and keep an eye out for newer microcode patches/AGESA updates from Intel coming in mid-late August 2024.
  3. Please continue to be informed/vigilant when buying second-hand/used Intel 13 and or 14th gen CPUs as you probably don't want to buy a defective CPU.

I would personally get off the platform if you are able to recuperate your costs. We don't have 100% confirmation that the microcode patches will fix the issue, as they won't be released until mid-august. May as well wait until the issue is fixed or spend your money on a platform that is more solid.
