OF COURSE IT DOES
I guess the real question is what did all the launch day reviews use?
FYI for those with RPL CPUs. If you turn off Intel Default Settings in the BIOS, the voltage limit in the new microcode gets disabled.
Panic mode retrofitting at its worst.That sounds like entrapment for a release of responsibility from Intel. Or just a broken implementation.
They are trying to show institutional investors that they are focused on their own products and not those of a competitor, alongside raking in about $150 mil in profits on the ARM stock price increase.Intel desperation reaching new heights??? https://www.anandtech.com/show/21529/intel-sells-its-arm-shares-reduces-stakes-in-other-companies
They are billions in debt and judging by their stupid expensive decisions, they'll burn through that $150 million in a few months, if not A month.They are trying to show institutional investors that they are focused on their own products and not those of a competitor, alongside raking in about $150 mil in profits on the ARM stock price increase.
The stock price has mostly stabilized at this point, presuming no further bad news. According to their 2nd quarter financial statement, Intel still had over $11 billion in cash/cash equivalents on hand as of 06/29/24 (i.e. approx 3 times what AMD had for the same period). Now granted, that is way down from the $50b cash they held in the good ole days of Core, but they are still are at least a little way from going broke at this point.They are billions in debt and judging by their stupid expensive decisions, they'll burn through that $150 million in a few months, if not A month.
After dual CCD Zen 5 flopping, it would take new moronic heights for Intel to let Arrow Lake flop.That being said, if Arrow Lake flops, you can probably stick a fork in it. I'm really hoping it doesn't, as AMD needs the competition based upon the relatively mixed showing of Ryzen 9000.
Big difference between Intel and AMD is that Intel has to continuously pour billions into CapEx for the foundry, while AMD does not have any such outlays for cash. AMD has been retiring debt and buying companies with the cash generated from operations.The stock price has mostly stabilized at this point, presuming no further bad news.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Intel to sell a few (but not all) of them in the future.Big difference between Intel and AMD is that Intel has to continuously pour billions into CapEx for the foundry, while AMD does not have any such outlays for cash.

LMAO I knew when the benchmark said shader compilation completed successfully it was throwing shade at rapture lake.another story?
Intel CPUs Crashing During Black Myth Wukong Shader Compilation
According to some users, even with the latest microcode 0x129, Black Myth: Wukong benchmarks crashes during shader compilation.tech4gamers.com
That's not what is happening. There is ample evidence that degraded raptor lake CPUs are the problem. They fail in every configuration, prebuilts, servers, roll your own, even mobile. I have seen owners say their broken CPU passed P95, y-cruncher, various 3DMark stress tests, and other troubleshooting, but fortnite, warframe, etc. would make it crap the bed.Part of me wonders if some of these systems were initially built unstable and newer games with more advanced multi threaded code are just now exposing problems that have been there from the start.
People don't stability test anymore.
Funny notion: Intel didn't give 13/14th gen systems to their game testers on the ARC team? Or maybe they did and their concerns were hushed up?We already went through blaming everyone but Intel; it was them all along.
Good point. I guess the safest way would be to set the mobo to Intel Default profile before updating BIOS.Worst part is, unless you are lucky enough to have a motherboard with a flashback type BIOS upgrade system or happen to get a motherboard with the new BIOS, just powering on a new CPU in a motherboard in order to update the BIOS is a potential risk to your CPU in and of itself.
Or, also makes you wonder how much of Intel's driver performance issues were a result of the (then unknown) CPU issues during development.Funny notion: Intel didn't give 13/14th gen systems to their game testers on the ARC team? Or maybe they did and their concerns were hushed up?
You still have to power it on to get to that point. Who actually knows what voltage the CPU is going to get between power on and you resetting the BIOS and rebooting?Good point. I guess the safest way would be to set the mobo to Intel Default profile before updating BIOS.
