Game dev accuses Intel of selling 'defective' Raptor Lake CPUs
Alderon Games criticizes Intel's 13th and 14th-gen Core CPUs for stability issues, crashes, and memory corruption, particularly affecting Raptor Lake models like Core i9-13900K and Core i9-14900K. Despite Intel's attempts to fix with updates, Alderon switches to AMD due to fewer crashes. Intel investigates the issues.

A game developer, Alderon Games, has publicly criticized Intel's 13th and 14th-generation Core microprocessors, labeling them as "defective." The studio reported encountering stability issues, crashes, and memory corruption specifically with the Raptor Lake CPUs. Despite various updates, including microcode, BIOS, and firmware, the problems persist. The top-end models like Core i9-13900K and Core i9-14900K seem to be the most affected. Intel has attempted to address the issues through BIOS updates and advising against extreme power modes. However, the instability continues, prompting Alderon Games to switch all its servers to AMD processors due to significantly fewer crashes compared to Intel CPUs. The studio founder, Matthew Cassells, warns players to avoid Raptor Lake processors and has implemented in-game notifications about their unreliability. Intel is investigating the reported instability issues but has not disclosed the root cause yet. The situation has led to a shift in preference towards AMD processors within the gaming community.
