Intel confirms everything is resolved when purchasing new equipment. Even with INtel, you might still need to maintain your CPU.
ZTT is among several tech creators on YouTube whose reputation stands out. I wouldn't advise purchasing Intel right now since they're focused on a fresh CPU lineup with a new socket. It might be better to hold off until they announce their next release if you really want to stick with Intel. Generally, I'd still suggest using AM4/AM5 for PCs or older Intel models (Skylake to Coffee Lake) based on your budget or preference for used parts.
We won't have a clear answer until several months later. Intel says they identified the main issue. It's possible they did. Only extended testing of fresh CPUs that haven't worn out will confirm this. People using already-faulty CPUs might mix up results, claiming the solution didn't help them (which isn't true).
I haven't seen that TikTok video. Even though I'm pretty sure it's resolved using 12B, we lack the evidence to confirm it. So while I won't push against Intel completely now with 12B available, I still won't support it. Also, this won't or can't repair CPUs that have already worn out.
It's a TikTok video, and you shouldn't expect anything else... all we have is Intel's word. Well, and "TikTok"... most folks, especially on Reddit, don't get it. I saw tons of "I've updated, should be good now!" posts.
Later updates should include the "final adjustment" for Intel motherboard BIOS version 0x12b. See the announcement here: https://www.techpowerup.com/327346/intel...-microcode
I often perceive this approach as insincere. Everyone has the ability to analyze, and many of the most intelligent technicians in computer and electrical engineering have achieved much. This seems like a fundamental issue, and it appears to have been resolved with 129 and 12B—not just according to Intel. If there are other problems, we can only identify them once we investigate further. I don’t see any reason to skip the new 13th/14th with 0x12B. As I mentioned, I won’t push people toward it, but I also don’t see a compelling reason to avoid it.
