In response to recent news that a microcode bug has been discovered that affects the way some Cpus increase clock speed, Intel posted an update on this issue via a community forum. There are no fresh details about the instability issue, but this post makes it clear which BIOS settings should be used for unlocked K-variants of the 13th and 14th generation Core I5, i7, and i9 processors.

All of this began at the beginning of the year when various reports came to light from the owners of the Core i9 13900K and 14900K, who were facing stability issues in games using Unreal Engine.1 We have redirected the responsibility to the vendor of the board.

Over time, it became clear that it was not just the Raptor Lake Core i9 chip that was struggling, but the game with the UE.Core i7 users were also reporting problems, and developers using software that highlighted the processor were also experiencing stability issues.

The first step to resolve this issue was in the form of an Intel Baseline Profile. However, not all board vendors have applied it in the same way, and some board vendors are still not "standard" ones and include Intel's "Performance

" in the profile, so Intel has no idea what the motherboard BIOS should have in order for the CPU to run within expected limits. The company has issued guidance on how to improve the quality of products and services, and how to improve the quality of products and services.

Strictly speaking, this is not new information because it is always present in the data sheet of Intel's chips. However, given that they have dense and technical readings, even PC enthusiasts are unlikely to collect the exact details they need from them, so they have to rely on the manufacturer of the motherboard to set things up correctly. It is worth noting that the power limit of Intel's Cpus has a significant impact on the maximum clock speed that can be reached, especially when processing a large number of threads simultaneously. For example, the Core i7 14700K has 3.4P cores that operate at a minimum of 8 GHz, but can reach up to 5.6GHz in certain situations.

This peak clock can only be reached if the CPU is not bouncing off temperature, power, and current limits. Also, because much of Raptor Lake's performance is due to high clocks, for example, using a low-power limit makes the P-core less likely to run at 5.6GHz.

In addition, Intel does not use baseline/standard settings and does not support performance if the voltage regulator and motherboard designs support it. It is recommended that you use the default value of the default value for the default value of the default value for the default value for the default value for the default value. But how is it supposed to know this?

I have scanned a list of different motherboards from all major vendors, but have not specifically stated that their models officially support the "Performance Power Delivery Profile (PPDP)".

Hopefully this will change in the near future and you can see exactly what settings you can run on your system. But I think few vendors are willing to state that expensive motherboards do not support Intel's PPDP.

Would help the problem if Intel leaned on its board partners to be more transparent about the true functionality of the motherboard.

It may turn out that there is no general fix for all cases of instability with Intel's latest and best core processors, but Intel's Ga of course, it will slow down, but if stability is important to you, it is a necessary sacrifice.
