Fast Tech May 8th news, Intel released the 0x12B microcode update in September last year to solve the Vmin Shift instability problem of the 13th/14th generation Core desktop processor. Although this update has greatly reduced the number of reports of related issues, the problem has not been completely solved. To further improve the problem, Intel recently released a new 0x12F microcode update. The 0x12F microcode update is a supplement to 0x12B, mainly for systems that run continuously for multiple days under low load and low active level conditions. Intel said that this update will not have a measurable impact on processor performance and will not change its opinion on the root cause of the Vmin Shift problem. Intel continues to recommend that users install the latest version of the BIOS and use the default configuration file to reduce the risk of instability issues. The 0x12F microcode update is for 13th and 14th generation Core processors, but not for the latest Core Ultra 200S series processors, which have not been found to have similar issues. Previously, some Raptor Lake chips, especially K series chips, have experienced accelerated wear and even CPU failure due to extreme pressure on the clock tree circuit of the internal IA core, as well as excessive voltage and temperature. Currently, some main board manufacturers have started to release BIOS updates containing the 0x12F microcode update. Raptor Lake users will soon be able to get this new microcode update by updating the BIOS.

Intel officially announced the price reduction of Core Ultra 200S! Ultra 7 265K/KF is lower than Ultra 5 245K/KF
Fast Technology reported on May 7 that Intel announced on its official forum that it would adjust the price of the Core Ultra 200S series desktop processors on the Arrow Lake platform.
Both the Core Ultra 7 265K and Core Ultra 7 265KF have seen their MSRP reduced by $100, which is even lower than the initial MSRP for the mainstream-segmented Core Ultra 5 245K/KF.
Specifically, the recommended selling price of the Core Ultra 7 265K is US$299 (about 2156 yuan), while the recommended selling price of the Core Ultra 7 265KF without a core graphics is US$284 (about 2047 yuan). Intel officially announced the price reduction of Core Ultra 200S! Ultra 7 265K/KF is lower than Ultra 5 245K/KF
Intel officially announced the price reduction of Core Ultra 200S! Ultra 7 265K/KF is lower than Ultra 5 245K/KF
Intel has only adjusted the price of the Core Ultra 7 265K/KF processor in the mid-to-high-end segment, and the retail price of the high-end Core Ultra 9 285K and the mainstream Core Ultra 5 245K/KF has not yet been adjusted.
Intel said that the price adjustment will not affect the previously announced spring promotion, and consumers who purchase a 265K/KF processor at the new discounted price before August 15 and complete the registration before the event deadline on September 15 will still receive a total of more than $160 worth of two AAA games and three creator software subscriptions:
Dying Light: The Beast
Civilization VII
Canvid: 3-month subscription period
VEGAS Pro 365: 30-day subscription
XSplit Premium Suite: 3-month subscription period
Due to the lower gaming performance of the Arrow Lake processors than the previous generation of Raptor Lake processors, its sales were lower than expected.
Consumers are more inclined to choose cheaper Raptor Lake processors, and even caused a shortage of Intel 7 process nodes used in Raptor Lake for a time. Intel officially announced the price reduction of Core Ultra 200S! Ultra 7 265K/KF is lower than Ultra 5 245K/KF

Don’t give up, don’t give up! Intel’s second-generation high-end graphics card Arc B770 is finally coming: benchmarking RTX 5060
Fast technology news on May 5th, after repeated rumors for a long time, Intel’s high-end graphics card B700 series finally has news. The outside world once thought that Intel’s graphics card had given up, but in the fourth quarter of last year, Intel suddenly released the second-generation independent graphics card Battlemage series, including Arc B580 and B570 models, mainly for the low-end market, competing with NVIDIA’s RTX 4060 and AMD’s RX 7600 XT. With its performance and 12GB and 10GB memory capacity, it has received relatively good reviews. Don’t give up, don’t give up! Intel’s second-generation high-end graphics card Arc B770 is finally here: the standard RTX 5060 will not give up, don’t give up! Intel’s second-generation high-end graphics card Arc B770 is finally coming: Benchmarking the RTX 5060. However, the lack of high-end models makes it difficult for Intel to occupy a place in the mid-to-high-end market and to have real appeal to players. The latest news shows that Intel’s high-end Arc B770 may be unveiled at the Computex 2025 Taipei Computer Show as early as possible, directly targeting the RTX 5060. Wccftech quoted Japanese media Gazlog as saying that Intel is building a new Battlemage series graphics card based on the BMG-G31 chip. Given that the B500 series is mature, it is reasonable to release the next generation of products. Therefore, this new model is very likely to be the B770 (previously thought to have been cancelled). This information was disclosed in the shipping list of the BMG-G31 chip a few weeks ago. The chip was shipped to an Intel factory in Vietnam, where the Arc B770 is likely to be produced. Don’t give up, don’t give up! Intel’s second-generation high-end graphics card Arc B770 is finally coming: Benchmarking RTX 5060 Don’t give up, don’t give up! Intel’s second-generation high-end graphics card Arc B770 is finally coming: Benchmarking RTX 5060 is no different. Well-known whistleblower OneRaichu also confirmed that the Arc B770 is coming soon. It is said that the graphics card will have about 24-32 Xe2 cores built in, supporting 256-bit memory width and 16 GB GDDR6 memory. The specific details are still inconclusive. Wccftech expects that the Arc B770 is expected to be released at the 2025 Taipei International Computer Show, which opens in a few weeks. In addition, it is reported that Intel’s third-generation stand-alone Xe3 has entered the pre-verification stage, mainly based on final adjustments to hardware simulations, and production of the first chip samples may begin soon.

At the same time, several customers plan to tape 14A test chips. Compared with the PowerVia back power supply technology used by Intel 18A, Intel 14A will use PowerDirect direct contact power supply technology. Intel also announced two variants of the 18A process – 18A-P and 18A-PT, in which Intel 18A-P will bring more excellent performance. Early test wafers are currently in production and are compatible with Intel 18A design rules. The Intel 18A-PT is another Intel 18A evolution based on the performance and energy efficiency advancements of Intel 18A-P. It can be connected to the top chip through Foveros Direct 3D advanced packaging technology, and the hybrid bond interconnect spacing is less than 5 microns. Foveros Direct 3D is currently used in production by TSMC, and is best known to consumers as AMD’s 3D V-Cache products. In terms of mature nodes, the first 16-nanometer-based products of Intel’s foundry taping process have been produced in the wafer factory, and the 12-nanometer node and its evolved version are also being negotiated with major customers in cooperation with UMC. Four years of five nodes have been invested in $90 billion! Intel: Four years of five nodes in mass production of the 18A this year have been invested in $90 billion!
