Came across this video today-its really alarming to say the least. Are the claims being made here applicable to the entire 13th and 14th gen lineup,or to the high end chips only?

Is it at all a good idea to consider getting something like a 13400F to upgrade an entry level gaming pc?


also how about the 12th gen processors-are they affected by any of these problems?

My i5 12400 is more than 2 years old now, no issues. Even when games are VRAM limited, the game's 1% low fps gets affected, game doesn't crash (example of such games - FH5, TLOU1).

according to the video the issue is with the E cores.

so the problem can be prevalent in 13400 as it has e-cores,but not 12400 as it only has the regular performance cores?
