Due to manufacturing issues and a microcode bug, 100% Intel's 13th and 14th generation of CPUs are failing over time and will, basically, cook themselves, breaking down the substrate of the CPUs.

Recent information suggests that two issues have been found in Intel's recent CPU offerings, seriously affecting stability and overall usability.  The first issue found was a microcode algorithm error which was returning incorrect power management data to the system board. Basically, Intel's CPUs are telling their motherboards to give them to high a voltage, which is damaging the substrate of the CPUs and causing them to fail.

Alongside this terrible, albeit patchable problem, is the oxidisation of the CPU's internal connections (called vias) which is causing instabilities which are introducing software errors and blue screens.

The upshot is that 100% of Intel CPUs have been keeling over and giving up the ghost.

More to come...
