Intel has finally commented on the stability issues experienced by numerous Raptor Lake desktop users. It says the issue stems from high operating voltages and plans to issue a microcode update in mid-August.
This doesn’t seem like the whole story, and it’s awfully convenient that everything will be fixed AFTER the AMD launch next week, when they’ve known about this issue for over a year.

It’s not the whole story. After Intel’s press release about voltage issues and an upcoming microcode patch, they quietly snuck out an admission that there is an oxidization problem after all. It smells like they’re trying to downplay that and avoid having to replace their faulty CPUs.
