Now, Intel has admitted that there's actually a problem with the CPU microcode causing "elevated operating voltage" in affected processors and is planning on rolling out a mid-August microcode ...
Intel’s 13th- and 14th-generation Core desktop CPUs have been the subject of controversy for months now, with instability and performance issues resulting in crashes and permanent damage for ...
Malware at the CPU level is not exactly arcane science ... AMD Zen processors that allowed threat actors to load malicious microcode and break the encryption at the hardware level.
The cause of this issue has been traced back to erroneous CPU microcode (this is the firmware that runs on the processor, controlling low-level operations), causing the chip to ask for more power ...
It's been months since the first reports of Intel's Core i9 processors being unstable in Unreal Engine games, but a small step toward a solution has been made, with the discovery in the code that ...
When homebrewing a CPU, one has to deal with microcode. Microcode is the low-level nuts and bolts of how, precisely, a CPU executes instructions (like opcodes) and performs functions such as ...
The problem lies in the CPU microcode, which caused the CPU to send elevated voltage levels, resulting in the processor operating outside its safe boundaries. A motherboard will shut down the ...
