Once the problem was contained, Intel was able to publish microcode intended to be integrated into motherboard BIOSes. If it didn’t fix the damaged chips, at least it would prevent the problem from happening again.
In reality, Intel released not one, but four microcodes, and while the thing remained relatively discreet, it was only with the release of microcode “0x12B” that the problem seemed, finally, definitively, positively and absolutely resolved. In any case, this is what we can learn from the latest communication made by Intel on this subject and published on its official blogs.
To our colleagues at The VergeIntel summed it up through its spokesperson, Thomas Hannaford. The latter therefore simply clarified: “ Yes, we can confirm this is the cause and it is fixed », speaking of this problem of too high voltage applied to the processor.
Let us recall in passing that if Alder Lake had not been affected, the next generations, Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake, will not be more affected by a problem which embarrassed Intel at the worst time.
