Key findings

  • Intel confirms that 13th and 14th generation laptop CPUs are not affected by instability issues
  • Many 13th and 14th generation desktop CPUs are also not affected
  • Intel recommends BIOS update to avoid crashes



This year hasn't been good for Intel so far, as the company has earned a bad reputation due to instability issues with Raptor Lake and recent layoffs. However, if you own a laptop with a 13th and 14th Gen Intel processor, Intel recently released some encouraging news that will put your concerns about the chip inside to rest.


13th and 14th generation Intel Core laptop CPUs are not affected, Intel says

Intel confirmed that its 13th and 14th generation mobile CPUs, including the HX series, are not affected by the voltage instability issue. “Confirmation that 13th/14th generation mobile is broadly unaffected by the instability issue,” the company said. The edge. This claim is the opposite of what many of our readers and the game publisher Alderon Games have previously claimed. One of our readers said that his laptop with 13450HX constantly crashes while playing games.

Many 13th and 14th generation desktop CPUs are also not affected

Thanks to the extended warranty program announced a few days ago, Intel's 13th and 14th generation desktop CPUs now have a five-year warranty instead of three. However, if your PC contains 13th and 14th generation Intel Core i5 processors (non-K series) and i3 desktop processors, you are not affected by the voltage instability issue. Intel Xeon and Core Ultra Series 1 processors are also not affected.


Intel also has guidelines for their unaffected CPUs

Intel is still investigating the root cause of the instability issues, so the only solution currently available is to request a replacement. But prevention is better than cure, so Intel recommends everyone update the BIOS to the latest version, even if your PC is running on a non-K series or i3 desktop processor. Motherboard manufacturers like Asus and MSI have already released microcode updates to prevent crashes on 13th and 14th generation CPUs. Again, these BIOS updates will not fix your CPU if it has already crashed due to the instability issue.
