Although Intelrecognized the root causeof failures among 13th and 14th Generation Core ‘Raptor Lake’ processors in late July — its microcode made the CPU demand elevated voltage levels beyond safe limits — the company never delivered a precise diagnosis.

Intel's Arrow Lake fix doesn't 'fix' overall gaming performance or match the company's bad marketing claims-gen chips

Our testing shows that Intel’s fix for its Arrow Lake chips isn’t effective in addressing the chips’ lackluster gaming performance, at least on the motherboards we tested with. And we found that theCore Ultra 9 285K’s updated gaming performance with one motherboard is now slightly slower than before. Additionally, the required operating system update has improved gaming performance for the prior-gen Raptor Lake Refresh even more than the Arrow Lake chips, so the flagship Core Ultra 9 285K falls even further behind its predecessor....
