From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Current state of Intel 13/14th gen CPUs? (lemmy.ml)

Hello,

I think everyone here is already aware of the current problems regarding Intels 13/14th generation CPU-chips. If not this article should explain your questions.

Since Intels new ucode update came and went, I was looking for an update on the situation and wanted to ask you (the users) for your experience using an Intel 13/14th gen CPU.

Are you still facing issues regarding degradation or are there any other issues potential users should be aware of?

Thanks in advance :)

0x129 (plus turning off XMP) was enough to stabilize my 13700KF for now, and hopefully 0x12B will be the final nail in the coffin for continued degradation.

However, polling users here for experiences isnt going to give a good perspective on how the CPUs are actually doing. Until it's pretty far gone users may not even notice, and the small sample size of folks who'll reply here is probably not going to accurately reflect the actual state of the CPUs.

Level1techs has done some really good work investigating this at large scale on datacenters, and the takeaway there is that these problems are going to take a while to show, so its generally not a good idea to buy these CPUs til 0x12B has been out for a few months and we know the effects, at which point Arrow Lake will probably be a better option.

tl;dr if you're going to buy right now, buy AMD 7000, but if you're willing to wait til February or so, it'll be a decision between the new gen of Intel CPUs and current AMD CPUs (only 9000 series will probably be available by then).
