Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Intel's partners have started rolling out the eTVB microcode BIOS fix as it tries to resolve instability issues on the 14th & 13th Gen chips. Intel Confirms eTVB Microcode Bug, & Elevated Voltages As Contributors To 14th & 13th Gen CPUs Instability Issues, New BIOS Rolls Out With eTVB Fix In a previous report, it was stated that the eTVB (Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost) feature had a buggy algorithm within the microcode which was stated as a root cause however Intel denied this and said that it was indeed a contributing factor but not the main problem as elevated input […]
Intel has discovered the root cause of its 13th and 14th Gen CPU Instability issues which stems from a buggy microcode associated with eTVB feature. Intel's Buggy Microcode Algorithm For eTVB Cause Intel 13th & 14th Gen CPU Instability Issues, New BIOS Rolling Out Soon Although Intel has yet to publicly issue a statement regarding the serious matter of instability that affects its high-end 13th and 14th Gen CPUs despite saying that it would do so a few months back, it looks like Igor's Lab has discovered internal documents (NDA) which spill the beans on what has been causing these […]
MSI has started rolling out its new Z790 BIOS which implements the "Intel Default Settings" profile for 14th & 13th Gen CPUs. Motherboard Vendors Start Following Intel's Recommendation, MSI Rolls Out Latest BIOS Profile For Its Z790 Boards To Resolve 14th And 13th Gen CPU Stability Issues Following the official statement from Intel which recommends motherboard vendors from using the "Intel Default Settings" over the "Baseline Defaults", MSI has quickly rolled out its latest BIOS, first for the Z790 motherboards, which helps set the power limits according to the default profile provided by Intel. The new BIOS implements two main […]
Intel has provided an official statement on the 14th & 13th Gen CPU instability issue matter saying that it's better to use its "Default Settings" in BIOS. Don't Use Motherboard Makers "Baseline Default" Profile, "Intel Default Settings" Are The Official Solution To 14th & 13th Gen Instability Issues It's been months since the 14th & 13th Gen CPU instability issues caught the limelight of the tech media and now, Intel has finally offered an official statement which seems to be a total reversal for motherboard makers who have already rolled out their own BIOS profiles to mitigate the issues. In […]
Lenovo has officially entered the MoTD "Mobile on Desktop" market with the introduction of its latest PCs powered by Intel's 14th Gen HX CPUs. Lenovo Is The First Major PC OEM To Launch MoTD "Mobile on Desktop" PCs Powered By Intel's 14th Gen HX CPUs A few weeks ago, Lenovo's China desktop product manager, WolStame (Weibo), shared that the company was planning to enter the MoTD "Mobile on Desktop" PC market. The MoTD market has seen good development over the past few years with the arrival of the high-end HX CPU platform from Intel and AMD. These chips which are […]
Intel has started requesting motherboard makers to implement its "Default Settings" for 14th & 13th Gen CPUs as BIOS defaults. Intel Motherboard & System Partners Tackle 14th & 13th Gen CPU Stability Issues By Reverting To "Intel Default Settings" So while the stability issues on the Intel 14th & 13th Gen CPUs continue to mount, motherboard makers took the first step in resolving or fixing them by implementing new BIOS profiles that set the CPUs to the default "Baseline" settings recommended by Intel. Now, Intel itself has requested motherboard makers and system vendors who are responsible for building PCs to […]
ASRock has become the latest motherboard maker to implement "Intel Baseline Profile" BIOS functionality on its Z790 & B760 products. Intel's 14th & 13th Gen CPU Stability Issues Continue To Rise, ASRock Is The Latest To Add Baseline Profile Feature In Z790 / B760 Motherboard BETA BIOS As pressure mounts on Intel to release a statement regarding the degrading stability of its 13th and 14th Gen CPUs, motherboard makers have started to implement new BIOS features that help set the chips to the "Intel Baseline Profile" or default settings which limit the power & voltages so that the CPUs can […]
A tester at Chiphell has gone his way to find the stability rate of Intel's Core i9-14900K & 13900K CPUs as the chip manufacturer has yet to identify the root cause of the stability issues affecting these chips. Intel Core i9-14900K & Core i9-13900K CPUs End Up Poorly In Stability Tests, Poor Silicon Being Pushed Too Hard Over at Chiphell, a user by the name of kmdkai, has managed to put several hundreds of Intel Core i9-14900K and Core i9-13900K CPUs through a series of stability tests to determine just how well they respond to the "AUTO" profiles being dished […]
Intel seems to have released an update regarding its 14th & 13th Gen CPU stability issues, calling out motherboard makers for not following recommended settings. Intel Says 14th & 13th Gen CPU Stability Issues Are Due To Motherboard & System Makers Not Following Their Recommended Settings The update comes several months after it was reported that Intel's 14th & 13th Gen CPUs have a really bad stability problem in several gaming applications. The issue was later discovered to be a problem caused by the CPUs being pushed way too hard from unlimited power limits and thermal profiles. These settings were […]

Rather than users manually tuning their chips to achieve gaming and overall CPU stability, this option can be […]
MSI has released a BIOS guide helping PC owners with their motherboards to improve gaming stability with Intel 14th & 13th gen CPUs. Intel's Instability Issues Start to Have a Wide Impact Over Users, Motherboard Manufacturers Stepping In To Solve It [Press Release]: According to some reports, a minority of Intel Core i9-13900K and Core i9-14900K processors may experience instability while gaming or under heavy workloads. If you're encountering this issue, here are some workarounds recommended by Intel. MSI BIOS provides a quick way to restore the processor's power and current limits to default settings through “CPU Cooler Tuning”. Simply […]
ASUS has offered a new "baseline profile" setting in its motherboard BIOS which should help mitigate Intel 14th & 13th Gen stability issues. Intel 14th & 13th Gen CPUs Are Riddled With Stability Issues, Mostly In Games, And They Only Way To Fix Them Is To Sacrifice Performance By Using Baseline Settings Through Enabling "Baseline" Limit Intel's 14th & 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs have been facing widespread gaming stability issues as motherboard makers push certain CPUs beyond their limits through their default BIOS. Moreover, excessive voltages and power are being pumped into processors, making the silicon degrade over time. […]
