Since the first problems with these processors began to circulate, there has been much speculation about what the causes of the problem could be.
Initially it was thought that the problem was in the P-Cores of the 13th and 14th generation of Intel, but ultimately the problem was related to the power supplied by the motherboard, so the problem really was not with Intel but with the motherboard manufacturers.
The fault of the manufacturers
According to Intel, the problem that affects the performance of the Intel processors of the last two generations is related to the default power settings used by motherboard manufacturers, since it exceeds the parameters recommended by Intel.
To solve the problem, Intel recommends users who are experiencing problems with these processors use the Intel Default Configuration / Intel Default Settings within the BIOS configuration options.
This profile allows you to standardize power and thermal settings based on the motherboard’s capabilities and is designed to reduce system instability and eliminate crashes that occur when running demanding applications or titles with the graphics engine. Unreal Engine.
Update your motherboard now
If you are one of the users who are suffering with these processors, you have two options. Use the profile recommended by Intel or install the update that many manufacturers are sending for motherboards with the LGA 1700 socket of these processors.
This update includes a new power plan called Intel Reference Profile. With this update, board manufacturers offer a power configuration according to what these processors need, thus eliminating stability problems and allowing them to get the most out of them, eliminating the problem with Unreal Engine 4 and 5.
Intel’s Default Settings profile is based on the specifications that Intel passed on to board manufacturers and is based on the power supply they need, so there is something wrong here as it is not possible that all manufacturers have screwed up the power supply. paw when creating it.
Intel does not recommend using the default power profile of the motherboard, since they offer a lower power supply than they really need based on the table that we can find above these lines. If it does not have enough energy to function, it is logical that the processor will have operating problems, just as it happens when the batteries are about to run out.
Although some manufacturers do not agree with the measure adopted by Intelthe processor manufacturer assures that this will solve all the performance problems that these processors are suffering, especially those of the K series like the 13900 and 1400, the most powerful of both generations.
