Which statement? The july statement? They didn't. They said elevated voltages were a cause of stability issues and they were releasing a microcode to address the root cause of said voltages. Thats not quite saying voltage is the root cause of instability. Its just the root cause of one of potentially multiple problems. Though I can see how it could be interpreted that way first glance (because thats how I read it first time too)This is the first statement they have made (at least that I have read) where they said they have identified and fixed the root cause.
The eTVB bug was something they discovered whilst investigating but they clearly stated it wasnt the root cause, the earliest news about board vendors shipping whacky defaults was also never claimed by Intel to be the root cause.
Or you mean the actual ucode release statement? Cause they didn't say root cause at all in that one. And both times they said they are 'continuing to investigate'. I just re-read it to make sure I didn't miss anything.
They did say "all future products will not be affected by this issue." but that could easily mean arrow and lunar lake wont be affected. Besides if thats not what they meant I don't see how it could be true, as intel stated they will not be shipping this with OS updates and you know there's gonna be people out there on ancient bioses with dangerous unconfigured settings.
Not sure if there is a point for me to install the new microcode, as I have no eTVB (i7) and my voltage requests are getting nowhere near 1.55v, they not even hitting 1.4v. Fairly happy with how I have the chip configured. I now think after seeing igor's binning data I have a better then average i7.
I get what you mean. I did do the update myself, but I'm personally not confident enough to be running my cpu full tilt right now so I have a million restrictions on it.... Probably went overboard but I really want to get a clearer picture of the situation before I go back up to 55x and 253. Plus this is enough for my needs anywho. General use and 4k 60 gaming really doesn't need that much from the cpu. The hardest I ever hear my fans spin up outside of benchmarks is when I'm decompressing something.
