Intel has announced BIOS updates to patch the microcode and "mitigate the instability" of Core 13th and 14th Gen CPUs.

Two motherboard makers — ASRock and MSI — have already made official announcements at the time of writing.

Intel said that it will release a patch to fix the issue in mid-August .

Unfortunately, this update will not help users who already have dead or dying Intel processors.

Instead, those affected will need to go through Intel 's RMA process to replace them.
