Intel to deliver fix for Raptor Lake CPUs made 'unstable' by voltage snafu

Re: Is intel stalling? [Yes, and miss directing]

I know replying to my own post makes me one of 'them', but watched a video drop just after posting which Intel admitted to Process issues.

Long story short, search: "Intel's Biggest Failure in Years: Confirmed Oxidation & Excessive Voltage", on youtube.

Not that anybody will read this now its fallen down the news listings :)

Is intel stalling?

Not a fan of conspiracies, but reading up on all the different storys OEM's and Data centres have been fed, and the 'blame your motherboard vendor' stuff intel spread, I think we're not going to see a pure software fix. One of the reasons is damage already done to all the CPU's not just the ones that have already failed. A presumption of mine would be a forced voltage limit which would effectively defeat the point of K class Intel Cpu's.

To go further on the process errors (at fab), we may find over time more models cpu's are effected. If it's fab issues at least Intel can recover somewhat.

Lastly, as I understand it, Intel Engineers (or at least the project leads) were braging that the design for Raptor Lake was faster than the AMD team doing Zen 4 (if I remember right).

I suspect short cuts to get product to market is nibbling Intel and it's customers arses.
