Intel is in trouble: Possible lawsuit due to faulty 14th and 13th Gen CPU

Lawsuit, awful Q2 2024, and cost-cutting are the opening conditions for Intel in this quarter. 

Processors aren’t perfect but if they have instability issues, users can’t use them the way they’re designed and advertised. That’s the angle of a possible lawsuit against Intel.

Lawyers are now collecting the names of PC buyers who experienced problems with the 14th and 13th Gen Intel CPUs. Some buyers shared their experiences online and they have one thing in common. Instead of the CPU acting as the brain of the computer, it’s the main cause of computer failure.

According to abingtonlaw, a microcode algorithm was incorrectly requesting higher voltages, which resulted in the instabilities of the chipsets. This was unveiled by Intel’s analysis.

The affected chipsets include Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen Core desktop CPUs, which could affect all 65W and higher CPUs, such as KS, K, KF, and non-K 65W or higher versions. But Intel is already working on a patch to fix the problem and this patch is scheduled in the middle of this month.

Intel is like being grilled at the moment. On top of a potential lawsuit, the company must prepare for upcoming holidays and sale season. It also needs to fight back against its rivals, AMD, Apple, and Qualcomm, all of which are engaging in AI investments.

But right now, the employees will bear the brunt of everything. Intel recently announced actions to reduce costs after losing $1.6 billion in Q2 2024. Thus, it’s letting go around 15,000 roles or 15% of its workforce.
