Intel's next microcode update for its Core Ultra desktop CPUs might just be the big one we were promised. Skip to content. ... 2025 David Altavilla and Hot Hardware, Inc. All ...

This is a microcode attack, something that's remarkably hard to pull off. Google just found one that works on some AMD processors, which is bad enough, even though it's now patched and under control.

In the idiosyncratic Y-Cruncher test, we did see the new microcode slightly fall behind the older one, but only just so, and it certainly doesn't change this Intel CPU's position in the rankings.

However, new Intel 13th/14th Gen buyers might need to fear no more because Intel's not only released a preventative fix in the form of a 0x129 microcode patch but has also just identified the root ...

Intel has communicated that this microcode update resolves an issue that led to its 13th and 14th Gen CPUs running with increased voltages that can damage and degrade hardware.

Meltdown and Spectre raised the alarm over vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit in popular hardware. This list, though not comprehensive, presents the most significant CPU and DRAM threats.

If microcode is permanently baked into a chip, it is effectively invulnerable. That has been the case in the past. Unfortunately, that means a bug in the microcode or the hardware itself can't be ...
