Intel's partners are beginning to release microcode patches that might fix the problems with 13th- and 14th-gen processors.
The problems with Intel ’s best processors have been going on for months, and Intel ’s response has been measured. However, at long last, a fix might be imminent — provided that this one actually helps. A couple of motherboard vendors have already announced BIOS updates that address issues within the microcode of Intel ’s 13th- and 14th-gen CPU s. With more to come, things might be looking up for the first time in a long time.
If you own an Asus motherboard for one of Intel’s Raptor Lake CPUs, you can also get your hands on a beta build of the latest BIOS update. Posted on the Asus ROG forums, these BIOS updates affect a range of Asus’ ROG Maximus, ROG Strix, and ProArt 700-series motherboards. However, seeing as these are beta builds, it might be better to hold off until Asus releases them through more official channels.
If your CPU is already struggling, your best bet is to reach out to Intel or to the system manufacturer and get it replaced. Intel just recently announced that it will extend the warranty on the affected processors by an additional two years.
