  • What is the speculated reason behind the processor crashes mentioned in the script?

    -The script suggests that the crashes are due to unstable power surges causing system crashes. Intel identified that these power fluctuations are caused by errors in the microcode algorithm, leading to incorrect voltage input to the processor.

  • How have other brands mitigated the issues with Intel processors?

    -Some brands have mitigated the issues by limiting the voltage and power input to the processors. While some solutions have been effective in minimizing the problem, it has led to complaints from users who feel that their high-performance processors are being underutilized due to these limitations.

  • What steps has Intel taken to address the microcode error?

    -Intel has chosen to fix the erroneous microcode by releasing a new patch in August. This microcode update will limit the voltage to a maximum of 1.55 volts, which is expected to prevent the bug from triggering again.

  • How has Intel extended the warranty for affected processors?

    -Intel has increased the warranty period for processors affected by the issue. For generations 14 and 13, the warranty has been extended from the initial 2 years to a total of 5 years.
