Nvidia has officially acknowledged that systems using specific Intel Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh processors may run into issues when trying to play games. The chips from both generations are fabricated on a 10 nm process.
Released in late 2022, Intel's 13th generation Raptor Lake Core processors utilize the American tech giant's Raptor Cove and Gracemont microarchitectures. The succeeding 14th generation, an iterative series code named Raptor Lake Refresh that launched last October, uses the same technologies while offering slightly better performance. Recently, there have been reports of computers powered by chips from Intel's two latest CPU generations encountering problems while playing games, and even Nvidia has dropped a statement to address the situation.
In the patch notes for Nvidia's 552.12 GeForce Game Ready Driver that was released on April 4, the GPU maker advised owners of systems powered by unlocked Intel 13th and 14th generation desktop CPUs to consult two sources should they experience stability issues, video memory error messages, and crashes during the shader compilation phase of a game. Intel processors with K suffixes are popular among gamers and enthusiasts, as they can be tuned to achieve higher clock speeds than what they were originally shipped with.
The first source mentioned was an official Intel support thread over at the company's community forum that addressed the reported stability issues surrounding unlocked Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh chips. Meanwhile, the second source Nvidia mentioned was a statement provided by RAD Game Tools, a video game software company owned by Epic Games. According to the statement, some crashes and decompression failures experienced in titles built with Epic Games' Unreal Engine were likely caused by the Intel Core i9-13900K and Core i9-14900K, both of which are currently considered as some of the best Intel CPUs for gaming.
Owners of Intel GPUs have also encountered some problems while playing games in the past. For instance, Starfield was essentially unplayable on current-generation Intel Arc graphics cards around its launch last September. Later driver updates did address these issues and other bugs, with one promising Arc users up to a 149% performance uplift in Bethesda Game Studios' popular action RPG.
Rumors suggest that Intel's mobile-focused Lunar Lake CPUs will release by the end of 2024 alongside the company's 15th generation Arrow Lake processors. Established hardware industry leakers have also claimed that Intel Lunar Lake chips will be 50% faster than their Meteor Lake predecessors, all while just consuming slightly more power. These upcoming CPUs are expected to feature graphics solutions from Battlemage, which is

More details regarding the Intel Arrow Lake-S Desktop CPU platform and the Z890 motherboards have been revealed.
Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs such as the flagship Core Ultra 9 285K are rumored to feature a clock speed of up to 5.5 GHz, far less than the existing Raptor Lake CPUs which can clock up to 6.20 GHz.
Intel's Arrow Lake-S "Core Ultra 200" Desktop CPUs could feature a brand new DDR5 memory controller as hinted by a renowned overclocker.
Intel's Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake-S" Desktop CPU lineup should reportedly include a total of six SKUs with up to 24 cores based on next-gen P-Core & E-Core architectures.
Blizzard is aware of the Dragonflight Legendary upgrade bug and it's a priority issue for them, but it'll take some time to fix.
NVIDIA is expected to dominate the AI market in 2024 as they are set to sell $40 billion worth of GPU, significantly outpacing AMD & Intel.
Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake "Core Ultra 200V" CPU has been spotted in an HP Spectre x360 laptop, featuring strong Battlemage Arc iGPU performance.
Intel's CEO, Pat Gelsinger, reaffirmed their commitment to the 18A process node with Panther Lake & Clearwater Forest headed for a mid-2025 launch.
Gigabyte has released its "Intel Baseline" BIOS option for Intel 14th & 13th Gen CPUs to improve gaming stability but it leads to severe performance degradation.
Fallout fans are an interesting bunch. So many characters in the series are morally dubious, lacking basic empathy, non-human, or perhaps even a winning combination of the three. So, you'd think that would leave us with very few heartthrobs to choose from, but you'd be wrong. It just means we have what some would call an acquired taste, accumulating in many players finding ghoul characters pretty hot in particular.
Intel & JEDEC have pointed out DDR5-8800 memory capabilities for next-gen servers such as Xeon 6 "Granite Rapids" CPUs with up to 128 cores.
