I mean, we did figure out how to turn lead into gold a while ago. The problem is that it is very energy intensive and the result is usually radioactive. So turning sand (silica) into something worth more than gold was a close second.

Because Pegasus is sold for millions of dollars, and it even includes customer service! That business would not be viable if Pegasus depended on a vulnerability (as it's often said) that can be discovered and patched at any moment. That means Pegasus takes advantage of hardware-level backdoors: "Intel Management Engine" (for Intel) and "AMD Secure Technology" (for AMD). Supporting this theory is the fact that the FBI requested computers without any of those backdoors.
Here's the truth, a little bit of inside info: There is no bad microcode, the mobos are not broken, there are no flaws. The issue is with the CPU's architecture. You see, since the 12th gen intel started including the Efficiency-cores. Now those cores are running on the same bus as the Performance cores. With the last 2 gens (13th and 14th), to keep up with AMD, intel just drastically increased the clocks. This clock increase is severely heating the bus between these chips. It was not designed to run at these frequencies and temperatures, hence the obscene amount of crashes. Intel knows this because the guys from the QA department brought this up to management and management said "Fuck it, let's just milk these last 2-3 years since we are on the verge of releasing the new re-designed series." This is why they avoid doing anything because they know they can't fix and it's why they've been shifting the blame for so long. They are pushing for time. I know the whole story behind it, I simply chose to stay quiet for a long time because of reasons. I advise downclocking to 4.4-4.8ghz and the cpu will operate flawlessly, unless yours is broken after such a long time of running at the high clocks.
i do always use intel and always given better than retail unit too, i did buy ryzens on some machines and they all perform very well, great gaming cpus
Yup, this is the year (well next year more likely) AMD will completely overtake intel on the desktop, laptop, and server and intel will become the minority share of the market. I could honestly see Intel failing within our lifetime if they keep this up.
Been playing WoW for 20 years, never had any significant issues. Until i got an insane gaming pc last year with one of those chips. Nearly had to give up playing, crashing every 5 minutes and spent dozens of hours troubleshooting. I defintely believe everything that is being said in this video.

Yeah for AMD it's great. For consumers, not so much. If Intel shits the bed completely, we will be eventually facing another Nvidia-level monopoly, but this time in the CPU world.
This exact thing happened to my brand new 14th Gen i7 laptop I bought for work. The motherboard lasted 2 months. Luckily I bought it from Lenovo and I think they did applied some firmware that declocked the CPU. The tech guy who came to my house to fix it said that they were purposefully overclocking these chips and didn't care that they were going to go bad but didn't think they would start to go bad this quickly. Hopefully, they'll do a recall on these and I can get my money back if this continues.
If not, there is one tool that enables the hidden bios developer mode (if that backdoor is still there) from where you can reenable userspace under/overclocking and voltage control. Another method was holding fn while off and swiping your finger over some keyboard rows then turning it back on.
Wow, I didn't realize quite the bullet I was dodging when I got a cheap 12700k a year back rather than something new. I even got a free NVME drive with the open box motherboard (hiding under the heatsink). Crazy luck in retrospect.

I personally purchased a 14900k and immediately ran into issues with the video memory issue you mentioned, spent weeks going down insane rabbit holes and replacing everything. Only to find out that the default bios settings essentially cooked my cpu, fast forward to me ordering a 14900kf, undervolting, and using all the recommended power settings provided on intels website... only for the 14900kf to slowly fail over time as well... Intel has pretty much lost me as a customer for a very long time, I've had no issues with either of my AMD systems.
I ran into a dude who insisted that failure to undervolt an Intel K-processor counted as user error. You don't have to worry about Intel running out of customers any time soon.
Pretty sure the "don't be an early adopter" motto reigns supreme to this day. It's never failed me. If you look at every hardware manufacturer, they have stories like this throughout the history of time. Intel, AMD, nVidia, Apple all of them. This isn't something new. It comes with territory of "having the latest and greatest" hardware.
Amd was known for their chips burning about a decade ago and fixed the issue and left intel in the dust. the only people that still use intel should be large businesses that refuse to change and still use massively outdated intel chips. Amd outpreforms at every metric and has for a long time, including cost
People forgot that previous architecture had a problem with hyper threading and Intel solution was.. turn it off, both for old chips, and current ones that don't have it anymore. Don't know if it is incompetence, or planned obsolescence, but is close to becoming a pattern.
If u want high quality Ryzen cpus it’s better to get the 7800x3d (expensive but is stable and rivals both 13th and 14th gen intel cpus in performance) the 7600x if your just trying to get on am5 (still a very capable processor)
I still run 6th gen. Meanwhile my mom has 3rd gen. Neither of us has any issues. Then again we both aren't really power users. I game occasionally, but it's mostly sufficient for the kind of games i'm playing
I bought a 13600k for my new (first) build. I enabled the intel default profile and it has a massive cooler (idles at 35c). I'm praying that my i5 will last. If not, I can't waste time switching out the mobo. I'll just get a 12700k.
This is a crazy vid. Thanks for reporting on this. I started having these issues almost year ago on my 13th gen. Drove me nuts. Thought it was nvdia the whole time but then managed to narrow it down to my CPU. Disabled all my E cores and now finally no more crashing on anything... But thats like a majority of my cpu...
Got a 13th gen chip this past year. Been in contact with Intel for months with these exact problems, specifically issues at X referenced memory. Intel has been "clueless" about this issue when discussing with me and won't cover the warranty replacement or refund. Have had more help on random intel forum posts and reddit from other people who have these issues. Finally, I have been able to get a SOMEWHAT stable fix when underclocking the voltage, but still super disappointing.

After the patch: Corrupting things no one notices until it's impossible to trace 😅 I think it's their new marketing strategy to sell more chips - they just turned the dial up too much at first.
Mine has been stable for over a year. I did however change some settings in my (gigabyte) bios the moment I got the chip.. In case you are interested: limited the wattage to intel recommended, disabled all gigabyte overclock settings, set the ac/dc loadline preset to medium (which slightly increases the base voltage iirc), undervolted the chip when under heavy loads using the vf points. (-100mv when all p cores are at 5.5-5.8ghz, -0.8~ at 5.4, -0.6 at 5.3 etc). I also reduced the SA voltage to 1.2v from the mobo default 1.28v. These settings have left me with a perfectly stable chip so far and no performance loss in benchmark. My ram is running at 7200mts with tuned timings using buildzoid recommendations and some experimenting myself. Hopefully I managed to accidentally fix my chip before it started degrading lol.

@@cameronroman506 Undervolting can increase performance while reducing temps and noise. This was the main reason I initially experimented with these settings. Unlocked chips also tend to be the better binned chips that allow for bigger undervolts without having to lower the frequencies. Overclocking nowadays doesn't make sense because the chips are already pushed to their limits by Intel. Also, another reason for doing all this is because I like experimenting with my hardware :p.
Bite the bullet and go with AMD . The 7950x3d games are waaay smoother. I think the lags and micro stuttering was related to my 13900k. So far the 3d cache and ccd works correctly 💯 of every game. The newest AMD drivers and uefi updates fixed everything
First time ever to use an amd for me was at the beginning of the handheld pc era and I must say I'm really impressed! Took it a step further and decided to try one of those pre-built AMD eGPUs and again it hasn't disappointed at all! Watch out Intel!
I am so very, very, glad that I went with 12th gen Intel. I bought my laptop 6 months before 13th gen came out. Having "new" CPUs coming in 6 months was a concern of mine but I went with the model I chose. Phew, that was close.
This video validated my experience with my 14900k for the last year... ive had every single one of these problems and have had to underclock using extreme tuning utility to not bluescreen constantly. Im so mad i didnt just stick to amd
Holy shit yea that was INSANE. The fact that even got approved, and went through the upper management who thought "yea, this looks sane, lets put this out PUBLICLY" is bonkers. Gamers nexus ripped them a new one :D Like holy fuck, that is really what helped with my next cpu being amd...
Intel's issue is that this seems to be a hardware problem... probably. They can't RMA these chips because they don't have a working alternative to provide. Replacing a faulty chip with another faulty chip will only create extreme customer frustration. The alternative is "Buy AMD" and Intel will never allow that. Intel is trying to buy time for the next generation where hopefully they fix the issue. What they do with the millions of faulty chips is yet to be seen.
Phenom? FX series? LLano and any other APUs? Sempron? And don't even get me started on Single Core/Thread performance. Sure, you might have 256 thousand cores, but that doesn't mean much when 99% of software can fully utilize four of them. Want to play the milsim ARMA 3? Better not have an AMD.
Uh you know what , Arma likes cache. You know what lots of cache is in? X3D. Even crappy optimised games like star citizen runs faster with that cache.
@@TheeGlocktopus Did you just wake up from some sort of experimental cryosleep program?You're about a decade behind in your Anti-AMD trash talking. Intel chips usually have way more cores than AMD chips nowadays on account of them tacking on 6-8 "efficiency" cores to everything. Hence we get "14" core i5s that perform like an AMD 6-8 core cpu but will win in multithread benchmarks that use the extra "efficiency" cores. You're also behind on the notion that only 4 cores get used. Alot of AAA games in recent years really suffer or won't even run properly on anything less than 6 physical cores. You're supposed to be complaining about AMD cpu firmware having bugs at launch or Zen 2 processors being in the Zen 3 lineup, or something like that.
Admitting it publicly, means admitting fault, and admitting fault means admitting liability for a massive class action lawsuit, and and admitting liability means line go down and line goes down means no extra billions.

That's what happens when you just keep dumping more and more power into them instead of making actual architecture improvements, just to claim the highest clock speeds. Doesn't matter how high the clock speeds are if the chip burns out and doesn't work, you get no clock speed.
Their at the very limit of what architecture improvements they can implement. Problem with Intel is they refuse to spend a dime on improving how much cache their stuff has. Intel machines could be lightspeeds faster if they simply added more cache to their chips.
@@honkhonk8009 Cache size depends directly on transistor density, and this depends directly on manufacturing technology. As Extreme Ultraviolet Litography is reaching its limits, improvements in manufacturing have become ridiculously costly. Intel produces it's own chips, while AMD uses services of TSMC. TSMC benefits from industry wide funding (for example, they also make Apple chips). I don't think Intel "refuses to spend a dime on improving how much cache their stuff has", it's just insanely costly.
Wait. Isn't AMD an American company too ? Driven by the same moral values as intel and boeing ? That is greed, and more greed ? It's only a matter of time before similar issues happen at AMD (outsource anything and everything to india and wherever, don't raise employees salaries, raise top management's salaries to silly amounts, cut costs on innovation, etc...).

The problem is now well known, it comes more from motherboard manufacturers providing default UEFI settings, not following specs recommanded by intel. Check everything and set manually every setting related to the CPU at the 1st start in order to follow CPU's specs, and your CPU should be fine, if you run default settings without a check, you are basically playing russian roulette with your CPU, with default parameters that over-volt the CPU when not needed (it's normally done for overclocking), even at default frequency, it's slowly destroy the CPU in a matter of weeks, and once done, the CPU is irreversibly damaged. Remember kids, it's not the frequency that kills a CPU, it's the voltage. I wonder if the problem exists at all with a 13/14th gen intel CPU mounted on an intel motherboard, if it does, so the problem comes from intel, otherwise it's time to check what other vendors are doing, especially those on the gaming segment.
I had a problem with Vbox and VMware where enabling 3d accerleration would lead in a 99% chance of the guest system crashing. I thought this was some kind of NVidia problem but no, probably my 13th gen intel core i7 processor.
Insane that I a comment about this, literally like 20 minutes ago I had to turn off the 3D accel because Ubuntu wouldn't start after upgrading from 22 to 24 LTS. 13700KF too, guess we're all fkd
So around a year ago my coworker was building a new machine and it keep crashing and that thing uses a i9 13900K. He sacked the CPU over to me last February and I couldn’t figure out why it was crashing randomly eithe. I ended up contacting intel support to see if I can RMA the thing, but then told me to turn on Intel Fail safe mode in the BIOS, which then stopped those crashes. That was back just back in May. I mean, I got a free CPU, so I shouldn’t be complaining, but I can’t believe this shit is only being discovered now. I legitimately thought this i9 I have was just a faulty one off
This literally happened to me 2 months ago. Had a i9-13900KF shut down, bsod, gpu error, screens turn off all randomly degrading over time until I RMA'd the thing, had it replaced with a i9-14900KF and literally had the same issue and had to be replaced by yet another 14900KF.
If there is a trade in program in the computer stores near you, you could use it to sell your Intel motherboard and parts and trade it with AMD Ryzen processor and motherboard at much cheaper additional price
I did not noticed as I dont watch this crap from longer time :). Initially I watched but had very bad opinion about this channel. You can notice right away it is not about reliable information or ethical but more "show" and "hype". He does not mention probably because she would make harm with "sponsors" (but as I does not watch it from longer time i can be wrong of course :) ). Ps. There was also other controversies with Linus later after i already dropped watching this channel.
The Linus Tech Tips channel is mostly an entertainment channel now. They don't really ever do dedicated deep dives or videos about news. At most you get a TechLinked video with a 2 minute segment on it.
Maybe because the core issue is still under investigation. So that's why the main channel still hasn't covered this news. But Techlinked has certainly covered it a while ago. They don't want to rush to make a video about this thing currently. They learned their lesson of making rushed videos.
LTT really has nothing to add to the conversation here. It would make a very boring and unsatisfying video with no conclusion. Bascially only repeating information from other sources. This is not what LTT usually does on the main channel. Something like "The Most UNRELIABLE Gaming PC" would be a more LTTish way of covering a topic like that. But not as long as the story is still evolving.
What if Intel knows what's the problem? Meaning unfixable hardware mistake. CPU's would have to be replaced, which would be super expensive for Intel. They will rather say we don't know the issue, if your chip dies, buy a new one.
I've crashed twice in two days. Its been right after launching valorant and as soon as I load into the game the first time. When I reconnect after the reboot there isn't an issue. Got a 24hr ban for it hahahahah.
Underclock and undervolt doesn't solve it. Heck some say the opposite might be needed. This is a complex issue and it seems like all of these CPUs will deteriorate at some point. I would consider returning it if possible.
You know everyone was using intel to avoid this instability issue that was present on ryzens? 😅 Just google "is intel more stable than amd" and look at stuff from few years ago.
Just had my first BSOD yesterday while making a RAR file. Confirmed that making a RAR file tanked my 14900k, but Cinebench was fine. After updating BIOS with the new Intel mitigations it's working for now.
This reminds me of the time when I was shopping for a new laptop sometime last year together with my dad. The staff at the shop showed us different units, one of which had an Intel CPU and some few others with AMD. On paper, the specs for the laptop in the shop with Intel seemed better than the one with AMD, though they cost nearly the same. My dad and I discussed about what to get. He told me that the laptop issued to him at his office has Intel and it ran fine (during that time), while I insisted that I prefer the one with AMD. I said that since I also like to play games, I've read that AMD CPUs were generally better than Intel. I also told him that since my old laptop which lasted for years has AMD, I wanted to get a laptop with an AMD again. In the end, I got the one with an AMD CPU (it's a Lenovo with an AMD Ryzen). At present it still works very well, both for gaming and for working! 😊
You might be able to prevent or delay issues by making some changes in the bios if you're willing to experiment. My 13900k has been stable for over a year. I did however change some settings in my (gigabyte) bios the moment I got the chip.. In case you are interested: limited the wattage to intel recommended, disabled all gigabyte overclock settings, set the ac/dc loadline preset to medium (which slightly increases the base voltage iirc), undervolted the chip when under heavy loads using the vf points. (-100mv when all p cores are at 5.5-5.8ghz, -0.8~ at 5.4, -0.6 at 5.3 etc). I also reduced the SA voltage to 1.2v from the mobo default 1.28v. These settings have left me with a perfectly stable chip so far and no performance loss in benchmark. My ram is running at 7200mts with tuned timings using buildzoid recommendations and some experimenting myself.
I'm glad I'm still running an i7-7700K. I can still play all my games at the highest settings. Windows 11 doesn't officially support it but it runs fine, so I've gotten about 7 years out of this CPU so far. I'm hoping to get at least a decade before I even consider upgrading.
So glad I went all amd this time, no melting power connectors, no unstable chips with glaring design flaws. Also was much cheaper while being only 10 percent behind
My understanding of the issue is that Intel's 12th gen processors were fairly good, but in order to get 13th/14th gen (they're basically the same gen, fight me) to market, they had to rush the architecture design, and they rapidly adapted 12th gen into a new architecture by adding more little cores and cache, but in rapidly adapting 12th gen into something it wasn't quite meant to be, they introduced the issues. I'm pretty sure future architectures won't have the issue, as they're ground up redesigns, but I'm also not sure enough to recommend my friends anything other than AMD until I've seen next gen intel chips lasting for more than two years.
If this were the case, Intel would quickly solve the existing problems, everything would be as transparent as possible, and silence most likely indicates that: either a deep quality check is being carried out, and I think that's why Intel is postponing the release of new products (maybe I don't know something, and that's just my guess), or a very expensive solution is required to cover the cost of marriage, which will radically change the approach to production technology
you mean the 12th gen that finaly can catch up to ryzen 5000 when 10th and 11th gen failed ? dont be foolish, every Ryzen 5000 CPU is better then a intel 12th gen for sure and upgrade path of a 12th gen to 13/14 is something nobody want to risk even on a used market in a year.
@@allxtend4005 In this context I meant "good" as in terms of reliability as it related to the specific issue in the video. Generally I've preferred Ryzen processors overall for every generation they've released as it always felt that they offered better value for what I wanted at the time, but it's not as though Intel chips haven't had reasons to buy them, as well. It's more a matter of what tradeoffs you're willing to accept, what you need out of your processor, and if you do custom workloads to the metal that can take full advantage of all the features available which you're paying for when buying the processor.
OEMs wont complain about this because Intel has bribed them but the customer service department will have a bad month dealing with continuous complaints from customers.
I own a 14600K, and some games like Terraria, and even Steam itself can crash the entire system. Happens on every OS, and even emulated games. Im starting to think that the CPU is to blame here... Anyone else has this issue?
Haven't bought an Intel chip since before the AMD FX Bulldozer chips (2013). Originally because AMD was a lot cheaper so I could then get a better GPU. Now my recent upgrade was because AMD was better and cheaper. None of my AMD chips have given a single problem. Yes, the Bulldozer chip still works.
I am running a 14900K and saw this taking shape since February of 2024 when I updated my bios with the latest Microcode at that time. Whatever update they made at that point ruined these 13th and 14th gen processors. Before that I was able to run my 14900k at 6.1Ghz all P-Core and 4.6 all E-core without any crashes or instability issues. Since then, I have had to run it on default settings of 5.7Ghz/P and 4.3Ghz/E and it runs stable within normal operating voltage. I believe my next processor will be AMD based, I am a bit tired of running in circles with Intel. Plus, the longevity of AMD based motherboards is truly outstanding.
the reason why i dont chose Intel is that, when i touch the laptops at the supermarket, the ones running on Intel are always super warm (when room température is 20°C)

@@milanstoyakov much more limited
Here's the truth, a little bit of inside info: There is no bad microcode, the mobos are not broken, there are no flaws. The issue is with the CPU's architecture. You see, since the 12th gen intel started including the Efficiency-cores. Now those cores are running on the same bus as the Performance cores. With the last 2 gens (13th and 14th), to keep up with AMD, intel just drastically increased the clocks. This clock increase is severely heating the bus between these chips. It was not designed to run at these frequencies and temperatures, hence the obscene amount of crashes. Intel knows this because the guys from the QA department brought this up to management and management said "Fuck it, let's just milk these last 2-3 years since we are on the verge of releasing the new re-designed series." This is why they avoid doing anything because they know they can't fix and it's why they've been shifting the blame for so long. They are pushing for time. I know the whole story behind it, I simply chose to stay quiet for a long time because of reasons. I advise downclocking to 4.4-4.8ghz and the cpu will operate flawlessly, unless yours is broken after such a long time of running at the high clocks.

This exact thing happened to my brand new 14th Gen i7 laptop I bought for work. The motherboard lasted 2 months. Luckily I bought it from Lenovo and I think they did applied some firmware that declocked the CPU. The tech guy who came to my house to fix it said that they were purposefully overclocking these chips and didn't care that they were going to go bad but didn't think they would start to go bad this quickly.
Hopefully, they'll do a recall on these and I can get my money back if this continues.
If not, there is one tool that enables the hidden bios developer mode (if that backdoor is still there) from where you can reenable userspace under/overclocking and voltage control.

As the owner of a 13900K, I can confirm the stability issues are insane.
Mine has been stable for over a year. I did however change some settings in my (gigabyte) bios the moment I got the chip.. In case you are interested: limited the wattage to intel recommended, disabled all gigabyte overclock settings, set the ac/dc loadline preset to medium (which slightly increases the base voltage iirc), undervolted the chip when under heavy loads using the vf points. (-100mv when all p cores are at 5.5-5.8ghz, -0.8~ at 5.4, -0.6 at 5.3 etc). I also reduced the SA voltage to 1.2v from the mobo default 1.28v. These settings have left me with a perfectly stable chip so far and no performance loss in benchmark. My ram is running at 7200mts with tuned timings using buildzoid recommendations and some experimenting myself. Hopefully I managed to accidentally fix my chip before it started degrading lol.

The problem is now well known, it comes more from motherboard manufacturers providing default UEFI settings, not following specs recommanded by intel. Check everything and set manually every setting related to the CPU at the 1st start in order to follow CPU's specs, and your CPU should be fine, if you run default settings without a check, you are basically playing russian roulette with your CPU, with default parameters that over-volt the CPU when not needed (it's normally done for overclocking), even at default frequency, it's slowly destroy the CPU in a matter of weeks, and once done, the CPU is irreversibly damaged.
Remember kids, it's not the frequency that kills a CPU, it's the voltage.

I did not noticed as I dont watch this crap from longer time :). Initially I watched but had very bad opinion about this channel. You can notice right away it is not about reliable information or ethical but more "show" and "hype". He does not mention probably because she would make harm with "sponsors" (but as I does not watch it from longer time i can be wrong of course :) ).
Ps. There was also other controversies with Linus later after i already dropped watching this channel.
The Linus Tech Tips channel is mostly an entertainment channel now. They don't really ever do dedicated deep dives or videos about news. At most you get a TechLinked video with a 2 minute segment on it.
Maybe because the core issue is still under investigation.
So that's why the main channel still hasn't covered this news. But Techlinked has certainly covered it a while ago.
They don't want to rush to make a video about this thing currently. They learned their lesson of making rushed videos.
LTT really has nothing to add to the conversation here. It would make a very boring and unsatisfying video with no conclusion. Bascially only repeating information from other sources. This is not what LTT usually does on the main channel. Something like "The Most UNRELIABLE Gaming PC" would be a more LTTish way of covering a topic like that. But not as long as the story is still evolving.
What if Intel knows what's the problem? Meaning unfixable hardware mistake. CPU's would have to be replaced, which would be super expensive for Intel. They will rather say we don't know the issue, if your chip dies, buy a new one.

You didn't wait for Strix Point?
You know everyone was using intel to avoid this instability issue that was present on ryzens? 😅 Just google "is intel more stable than amd" and look at stuff from few years ago.
@@aurelia8028 AMD is top dog
loving my AMD handheld. It's been over a year with no major issues.
i just bought a laptop with an i5-1340p but i think only the higher core count chips are having issues
Apple knew and they got out from Intel’s business.
I literally just reformatted because I thought Windows bugs....nope....just have a 13900k
Just had my first BSOD yesterday while making a RAR file. Confirmed that making a RAR file tanked my 14900k, but Cinebench was fine. After updating BIOS with the new Intel mitigations it's working for now.
0:06 Intel's Ticking Bomb Inside!
This reminds me of the time when I was shopping for a new laptop sometime last year together with my dad. The staff at the shop showed us different units, one of which had an Intel CPU and some few others with AMD. On paper, the specs for the laptop in the shop with Intel seemed better than the one with AMD, though they cost nearly the same.
My dad and I discussed about what to get. He told me that the laptop issued to him at his office has Intel and it ran fine (during that time), while I insisted that I prefer the one with AMD. I said that since I also like to play games, I've read that AMD CPUs were generally better than Intel. I also told him that since my old laptop which lasted for years has AMD, I wanted to get a laptop with an AMD again. In the end, I got the one with an AMD CPU (it's a Lenovo with an AMD Ryzen).
At present it still works very well, both for gaming and for working! 😊
0:42 overflowing stack HOW DID ANYONE NOT NOTICE THIS LMAO
Really glad right now that I decided to buy an Intel Core i9 14900K
The 14900K has issues too.
@@synen That is called sarcasm. It was the whole point of the joke.
You might be able to prevent or delay issues by making some changes in the bios if you're willing to experiment. My 13900k has been stable for over a year. I did however change some settings in my (gigabyte) bios the moment I got the chip.. In case you are interested: limited the wattage to intel recommended, disabled all gigabyte overclock settings, set the ac/dc loadline preset to medium (which slightly increases the base voltage iirc), undervolted the chip when under heavy loads using the vf points. (-100mv when all p cores are at 5.5-5.8ghz, -0.8~ at 5.4, -0.6 at 5.3 etc). I also reduced the SA voltage to 1.2v from the mobo default 1.28v. These settings have left me with a perfectly stable chip so far and no performance loss in benchmark. My ram is running at 7200mts with tuned timings using buildzoid recommendations and some experimenting myself.
You'll eventually get a refund, hopefully some compensation even. Good luck to you 🤞🏼
I'm glad I'm still running an i7-7700K. I can still play all my games at the highest settings. Windows 11 doesn't officially support it but it runs fine, so I've gotten about 7 years out of this CPU so far. I'm hoping to get at least a decade before I even consider upgrading.
well guess what my 10th gen intel is more stable than the 13th gen intel
my i7 4770 from 2014 is more stable
Update 8/4/24: It’s much worse than originally led to believe
It's not a rock, it's a mineral. And electrons are not dancing on it, quite the opposite. It is *an insulator* and gold is used as conductor.
So glad I went all amd this time, no melting power connectors, no unstable chips with glaring design flaws. Also was much cheaper while being only 10 percent behind
After the mitigations that hurt performance, AMD isn't even behind anymore. If you've got a 7800x3D, you've got the fastest gaming CPU on the market.
My understanding of the issue is that Intel's 12th gen processors were fairly good, but in order to get 13th/14th gen (they're basically the same gen, fight me) to market, they had to rush the architecture design, and they rapidly adapted 12th gen into a new architecture by adding more little cores and cache, but in rapidly adapting 12th gen into something it wasn't quite meant to be, they introduced the issues.
I'm pretty sure future architectures won't have the issue, as they're ground up redesigns, but I'm also not sure enough to recommend my friends anything other than AMD until I've seen next gen intel chips lasting for more than two years.
If this were the case, Intel would quickly solve the existing problems, everything would be as transparent as possible, and silence most likely indicates that: either a deep quality check is being carried out, and I think that's why Intel is postponing the release of new products (maybe I don't know something, and that's just my guess), or a very expensive solution is required to cover the cost of marriage, which will radically change the approach to production technology
you mean the 12th gen that finaly can catch up to ryzen 5000 when 10th and 11th gen failed ?
dont be foolish, every Ryzen 5000 CPU is better then a intel 12th gen for sure and upgrade path of a 12th gen to 13/14 is something nobody want to risk even on a used market in a year.
@@allxtend4005 In this context I meant "good" as in terms of reliability as it related to the specific issue in the video.
Generally I've preferred Ryzen processors overall for every generation they've released as it always felt that they offered better value for what I wanted at the time, but it's not as though Intel chips haven't had reasons to buy them, as well.
It's more a matter of what tradeoffs you're willing to accept, what you need out of your processor, and if you do custom workloads to the metal that can take full advantage of all the features available which you're paying for when buying the processor.
This isn't an architecture issue but a silicon level issue that has to do with process node and generation of the internal transistors.
On a i9-12900T I had repeatable crashes. My solution was deactivating all efficiency cores.
I have one of these chips and I have crashes in games. Underclocking helped
OEMs wont complain about this because Intel has bribed them but the customer service department will have a bad month dealing with continuous complaints from customers.
I think it was also really hard to achieve a 100% rate failuire. Well done Intel!
I've been dealing with these issues since October last year, this sh*t started well before February 🙄
Intel really took the saying "it's better to burn out than fade away" to heart.
I own a 14600K, and some games like Terraria, and even Steam itself can crash the entire system. Happens on every OS, and even emulated games. Im starting to think that the CPU is to blame here... Anyone else has this issue?
Tricking rocks into thinking for us was a mistake.
Nah, it was a triumph.

A humble man.
Never thought I'd see a warframe mention on this channel
I immediately went check which generation my chip is. 10th gen. Being broke saved me this time 🤣
Haven't bought an Intel chip since before the AMD FX Bulldozer chips (2013). Originally because AMD was a lot cheaper so I could then get a better GPU. Now my recent upgrade was because AMD was better and cheaper. None of my AMD chips have given a single problem. Yes, the Bulldozer chip still works.
I am running a 14900K and saw this taking shape since February of 2024 when I updated my bios with the latest Microcode at that time. Whatever update they made at that point ruined these 13th and 14th gen processors. Before that I was able to run my 14900k at 6.1Ghz all P-Core and 4.6 all E-core without any crashes or instability issues. Since then, I have had to run it on default settings of 5.7Ghz/P and 4.3Ghz/E and it runs stable within normal operating voltage. I believe my next processor will be AMD based, I am a bit tired of running in circles with Intel. Plus, the longevity of AMD based motherboards is truly outstanding.
the reason why i dont chose Intel is that, when i touch the laptops at the supermarket, the ones running on Intel are always super warm (when room température is 20°C)

I7-1355u here in a slim HP laptop, all good, not toasty, no crash, weeks of uptimes.
@@dtibor5903 thats all very nice but what are you using it for? If ur just web browsing and using office that doesnt tell us anything besides the fact that it itsnt complete rubbish
Laptops at a supermarket is the first problem...
Gone are the days when Intel exclusively released processors on various sockets with only 4 cores and at increasingly higher prices😁
