Could it be that the manufacturing defect only crashes the CPUs at a higher voltage, and the 13900HX/14900HX mobile CPUs run at a lower power (157 W) than the 13900K/14900K desktop CPUs (253 W)?
If so, then Intel might be trying to spin this as the high voltage being the cause rather than oxidation or some other manufacturing problem.
- more_corn 2y agoMy understanding is that the chip is able to request higher voltage from the mainboard as demand increases. And it’s allowed to request an unsafe level of voltage. This is particularly problematic under high load.
