Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent

  Yeah. They can’t replace it with their upcoming 15th gen, because that uses a new, incompatible socket. They’d apparently been handing them out to large customers to replace failed processors, according to one of Steve Burke’s past videos on the subject.

  On a motherboard that has the microcode update which they’re theoretically supposed to get out in a month or so, the processors should at least refrain from destroying themselves, though I expect that they’ll probably run with some degree of degraded performance from the update.
