Intel’s Update On 13th And 14th Gen Vmin Shift Instability

The Vmin Shift Instability problem has been traced by Intel to a clock tree circuit in the IA core, which is especially prone to reliability aging at high voltage and temperature

Mitigation: For desktop Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen CPUs, use the Intel Default Settings guidelines, June 2024’s microcode 0x125 fixes the eTVB algorithm problem

Vmin shift may result from the microcode SVID algorithm’s requirement for high voltages at a frequency and duration

Intel reiterates that the Vmin Shift Instability problem does not impact Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen mobile CPUs or future client product families, such as the codename Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake families
