I have a i7-13700k that’s been sitting in the box since I got a deal on it last month. I was pondering returning it and spending the extra couple hundred to get an AMD setup.
I’ve been following all this then checked on the Asus site for my board and saw the BIOS updates…
Updated with microcode 0x125 to ensure eTVB operates within Intel specificatIons…
This keeps getting slightly misrepresented.
There is no fix for CPUs that are already damaged.
There is a fix now to prevent it from happening to a good CPU.
But isn’t the fix basically under clocking those CPU?
Meaning the “solution” (not even out yet) is crippling those units before the flaw cripples them?
That was the first “Intel Baseline Profile” they rolled out to mobo manufacturers earlier in the year. They’ve roll out a new fix now.
As an i9-13900k owner, thanks. My chip has been great so far, better update when I get home

And this week there’s a beta release…
Remember Spectre? When they recommended disabling hyperthreading?
Not out yet. But you can manually set your clocks and disable boost.
