News Raptor Lake instability saga continues as Intel releases 0x12F update to fix Vmin instability

[Admin]

Intel launches another microcode update addressing Raptor Lake instability. This time the update addresses rare cases where Vmin Shift can occur.

Is it ok to say this was all from too much vdroop and the raising of voltages to compensate for that yet?

The disheartening thing is how long this continues to drag on.

The fact that we're getting instability updates over 2.5 years after Raptor Lake's release really causes me to question the competence of Intel's engineering teams.

I have 3 rapper lake CPU’s and still no problems.

Happy to see continuous updates on the platform. I likewise have no complaints with Raptor.

I worked for Intel for a long time and couldn't shake being a Homer. I even held my nose and bought 8th and 11th gen cpus.

Sank big $ into a 13900K rig and I hate it now with a passion. When I push it, I feel like I'm walking on eggshells.

That it's continued to go on tells me that the company lost it's way while being lost on it's way. Gelsinger sure made things happen, but I worked for him and all he does is push to go faster and cheaper without understanding that quality gets sacrificed on the way.

As we see here. I'm now running an AMD 16 core system and I doubt I'll buy another system with an intel cpu.

The good engineers left long time ago. Most are now working for Nvidia, Apple, AMD. Then there are the constant layoffs at Intel.

Great! after spending big bucks on the 14900k to in socket upgrade 12700KF and after the next gen in it's mid cycle and still another update pending to put on it. the best decision I've ever made was after initial Cinebench R23 run (which saw VID as high as 1.49) I immediately undervolt it by 50mV and subsequently limited the IA voltage to 1.45v max...

Can't wait for the excited bios update if ever from gigabyte and hope it won't need to re-enter all those 30 settings already dialed in /s

That's the cruel irony of layoffs. The best people, whom you most want to keep, have the easiest time finding other opportunities. When the axe starts swinging, they tend to get spooked and jump ship. Then, mostly the bottom performers - and people who just do their job instead of playing politics - are the ones who get cut. That leaves you with mediocrity and the butt-kissers who only excel at sponging off others' work.

That is the worst part of the bios update, all custom settings get lost, not even sure exporting and reimporting from a file would do the trick, but I would try that rather than go through that pain again...

I'd take photos of all the settings screens where you might've changed anything, just to be sure.

that's what I've done, very painful and when you think it's finally solved and they are moving to the ULTRAAAA series, bam, fun news again, seems intel just don't want us rest and enjoy the computer

I tried a i5-14500T (low thermal part) after being on AMD since 2001. It was a massive disappointment. Back on Ryzen now. Might try intel again in another 24 years.
