Intel’s latest generation CPUs have hit a snag in the gaming world, causing instability issues that are now affecting game developers. Alderon Games, the team behind the popular Path of Titans game, is speaking out about their troublesome experience with Intel’s 14th and 13th Gen chips.
In a recent turn of events, Intel is facing backlash for rejecting RMA requests for processors that meet all the terms and conditions. This could potentially harm the company’s reputation, especially as their CPUs are becoming increasingly prone to gaming errors and failures compared to competitors like AMD.
Alderon Games reveals that Intel’s instability issues have wreaked havoc on their development process, with constant crashes on CPUs and servers, SSD and memory corruption, and failing benchmarking tools. Founder Matthew Cassells highlights the severity of the situation, stating that Intel CPUs are deteriorating over time and severely impacting performance.
To combat this issue, Alderon Games has made the switch to AMD for their servers, reporting a significant decrease in crashes. They are urging other game developers and server providers to avoid using Intel’s 13th and 14th Gen CPUs to prevent similar issues.
In an effort to inform users about the problem, Alderon Games will be implementing in-game notifications and advising against the purchase of Intel’s latest CPUs. With the professional sector now feeling the effects of these instability issues, it is crucial for Intel to address this problem promptly through a recall or effective mitigation strategy.
