Intel is closer than ever to finally knocking out this instability problem for good. The chipmaker announced a few days ago that it discovered theroot cause of the crashing issues surrounding elevated voltages that can cause irreversible degradation to Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh processors. Intel will provide a new microcode update by mid-August to fix this voltage problem and prevent undamaged parts from degrading beyond repair. Intel has officially said this, but there are contrastingreports that elevated voltages are just one root cause affecting the instability phenomena.
