Dev reports Intel's laptop CPUs are also suffering from crashing issues — several laptops have suffered similar failures in testing


New evidence busts any theories that Raptor Lake instability is a desktop-specific issue.

Intel has tried patching this problem with microcode updates featuring stricter power limit regulations, enforcing safety mechanisms such as CEP in BIOS, and fixing bugs with eTVB, but none of them have been able to fully rectify the continued crashes. Worse, the increasing number of reports could indicate that many Raptor Lake chips are degrading, even when operating below official spec, which makes any sort of fix only a temporary solution. The fact that data center servers boasting W680 chipset motherboards are also suffering from the same issues suggests Intel's problem is not purely related to power consumption.
