Intel has announced another microcode update for its Core i-13000 and i-14000 series processors, aimed at resolving persistent stability issues related to excessive CPU core voltages. This update follows previous attempts to rectify the problem and comes as a result of continuing reports of elevated core voltages occurring under low load conditions after extended periods of operation.
The latest microcode version, identified as 0x12F, is designed to mitigate these voltage anomalies. Intel has indicated that this update will not affect processor performance. Users can access the updated firmware through BIOS updates provided by motherboard and PC manufacturers. Many models from the 600 and 700 series are already offering this update for download on their respective product support pages.
The root cause of the instability issues was traced back to a inadequately designed clock tree circuit within the processors. This circuit, which distributes the clock frequency signal, was found to be vulnerable to various bugs in voltage regulation and specification deviations from motherboard manufacturers, leading to unreasonably high core voltages. As a result of these complications, Intel has previously replaced affected processors and extended their warranty terms. It remains uncertain whether the release of the 0x12F microcode will conclude this ongoing issue.
On a positive note, the complications surrounding these processors have prompted improvements in future models. Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 200S (Arrow Lake) processors will ensure that all LGA1851 motherboards adhere strictly to the power limits specified by Intel, a practice that has been standard for AMD systems since the introduction of the Ryzen series in 2017. This change aims to prevent the excessive power consumption that has been a concern with previous generations of Core i processors, particularly the K-series variants.
