According to the game studio behind Path of Titans, Intel's best CPUs fail almost every time, pushing Alderon Games toward AMD instead.
When it rains, it pours, at least for Intel — or rather, its customers. As first reported in February, Intel ’s best CPU s have been crashing for months now, and the uproar that was previously limited to gamers is now spreading like wildfire to data centers and game studios. This time, Alderon Games, the studio behind Path of Titans, made a strong statement about the problem.
Recommended Videos Cassells stated that the game studio found issues in five main areas, including end customers, with thousands of crashes on these CPUs in particular and entire game servers being taken down. Only yesterday, we reported on how YouTuber Level1Techs looked into crash reports from two games, finding that out of a total of 1,584 decompression errors, 1,431 occurred on Intel’s 13th- and 14th-generation processors. As a comparison, there were only four reports for AMD CPUs.
This isn’t a good look for Intel, and it doesn’t help that the only real way to fix the issue is to send the CPU in for a replacement. It’s hard to say how easy it’s been for customers to get their replacements and refunds, though. Areej Syed of Hardware Times reported that the publication had to RMA the Core i9-13900KF twice.
