For months, Intel’s highest-end desktop gaming processors have had a strange tendency to occasionally make games crash — and despite what you might have seen earlier today, Intel says it doesn’t have a final fix for its 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core i9 “Raptor Lake” and “Raptor Lake S” chips just yet.

“Contrary to recent media reports, Intel has not confirmed root cause and is continuing, with its partners, to investigate user reports regarding instability issues on unlocked Intel Core 13th and 14th generation (K/KF/KS) desktop processors,” reads a statement via Intel spokesperson Thomas Hannaford. It continues: “The microcode patch referenced in press reports fixes an eTVB bug discovered by Intel while investigating the instability…

    So they can’t completely turn off the extra instructions from the enterprise P-cores?

    If Linux goes ahead and lets the scheduler use the full enterprise microcode, do you think we’ll find that the actual instructions are not fused?

    I mean w11 was basically initiated because of Intel’s asymmetrical cores and the w10 scheduler’s limitations, as far as I understand it.

    I just want the full enterprise P-core AVX instruction set, and I have the 12th gen that is most likely to work with the right microcode. It would just be funny if W11 doesn’t support such a complex scheduler and Linux does. The implications would be large.
