Intel issues a new statement denying speculation that "via oxidation issues are causing instability in 13th/14th generation processors"

According to news from this website on August 3, Intel issued another statement on August 2 in response to some media speculation about via oxidation (Via Oxidation), emphasizing that this does not lead to defects in the 13th/14th generation processors. stable reasons.

Intel says this speculation is somewhat misleading, and although it acknowledges that there were related issues in the early stages of product development, these issues have been mitigated.

This site translates the official statement from Intel as follows:

The via oxidation reported in the media is just a small problem. By improving the production process and screening in early 2023, this problem has been solved. .

This [via oxidation] issue was discovered in late 2022, and as Intel improved its manufacturing processes and deployed additional screening mechanisms, the company has completely removed affected processors from the supply chain in early 2024. However, stock on shelves may therefore remain until early 2024.

Minor manufacturing issues are an unavoidable fact with all silicon products. Intel continuously works with customers to troubleshoot and fix product failure reports and communicates openly about product issues when customer risk exceeds Intel quality control thresholds.

Intel officials previously stated that by analyzing the returned processors, they confirmed that the excessive operating voltage was caused by a microcode algorithm that sent an incorrect voltage request to the processor.

The above is the detailed content of Intel issues a new statement denying speculation that "via oxidation issues are causing instability in 13th/14th generation processors". For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
