Intel Confirms Laptop Chips Are Not Affected by the Voltage Issue Causing Instability

After months of speculation, Intel has addressed concerns regarding potential instability in its 13th and 14th Gen laptop processors.

The company has confirmed that these laptop chips are not experiencing the same issues that have plagued 24 of its flagship desktop processors. The issue, known as "Vmin Shift Instability," has raised alarms about possible permanent damage to desktop chips due to high voltage levels.

Intel has now clarified that while Vmin Shift Instability is still under investigation for its role in desktop chip failures, it is not impacting their latest laptop processors. According to Intel spokesperson Thomas Hannaford, the company’s rigorous testing shows that laptop chips remain stable and unaffected by this specific voltage-related problem.

The reassurance from Intel comes after significant concerns from both consumers and industry experts. Intel is continuing to investigate the issue to ensure it does not affect other product lines.
