Intel Says Arrow Lake And 14th/13th Gen Mobile CPUs Are Immune To Voltage Instability Issue

Don’t blame us for the awkward construction in the headline, because Intel has formally named the stability problem affecting its 13th- and 14th-generation desktop CPUs: “Vmin Shift Instability Issue”. Non-words aside, the issue is that the company’s high-powered Raptor Lake desktop CPUs have issues with excess voltages that result in the premature degradation of the processors. Fortunately, this problem doesn’t affect any of Intel’s other chips. That’s according to Intel, anyway. That news comes from
