Intel's patch affects the performance of processors!

Some time ago we reported on the dissatisfaction of gamers with Core i9-13900K and Core i9-14900K processors. The situation was serious, with gamers returning hundreds of Core i9 processors based on the Raptor Lake build daily. The problem is that many games display a notification about the lack of graphics memory. This often leads to the game closing automatically, even though there is more than enough graphics memory.

Intel engineers have recently come to the realization that the problems with the instability of their 13th and 14th generation processors are actually related to overvoltage. This problem was caused by a software error in the algorithm, which should take care of voltage regulation. As a result, Intel has prepared a software patch that should definitively eliminate both the lack of memory and the unstable operation of their newer processors based on the Raptor Lake architecture.

The new patch for Intel 13th and 14th generation processors is ready for download. The patch is of course available for download in the form of a new version of the BIOS firmware for motherboards. But it was not without problems this time either. Experts have come to the realization that the performance of the Core i9-13900K processors decreases by around 6.5 percent, and the Core i9-14900K processors by around two percent (Cinebench). That said, this is still down from the previous patch, where CPU performance dropped between nine and 20 percent on average.
