Intel laptop CPUs are crashing, too, as the company remains silent
Intel's 13th and 14th-gen CPUs are crashing across desktops and laptops, with unresolved issues tied to the LGA 1700 socket. Intel remains largely silent.
Instability issues with Intel's 13th and 14th-generation CPUs are not limited to high-end consumer desktops but also impact laptops. Chipzilla has yet to release an official statement on the problem, which seems to affect all LGA 1700 products, according to Alderon Games founder Matthew Cassells. He suggests that Intel should recall the affected CPUs due to crashes occurring during tasks like gaming and benchmarks.
YouTuber Level1Techs discovered that almost half of game servers using W680 chipsets with Raptor Lake Core i9 CPUs also suffer from similar problems. While some alleviation was achieved by adjusting BIOS settings to limit voltages, this has not fully addressed the underlying issue.
Intel's recent update fixed an eTVB microcode algorithm glitch, but the company confirmed that this was not the source of their broader instability problems. With new CPU generations (Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake) set to launch this fall, Intel faces increasing pressure to resolve the crashes linked to the LGA 1700 socket.
