Intel admits damage to unstable 14th and 13th gen CPUs is permanent – ​​incoming patch is preventative, not a cure


Intel provided a statement earlier this week regarding instability issues with 14th and 13th Gen CPUs, but a few more details have since come to light, including a clarification that any damage done to high-end CPUs is permanent.

In case you missed it, Intel's earlier announcement pointed to “high operating voltage” as a key cause (not necessarily the only one, mind you) for these Core i9 processors (and lower-tier chips, too) to crash and generally perform poorly.
