The news that emerged in the past few days and unfortunately became clear minutes ago This development certainly seems very bad and sad. This 15 thousand layoffs that are said to be made globallyis being blamed on revenues lost to AMD and Nvidia in certain categories. The processor giant, which currently employs 110,000 people globally, aims to save $10 billion by 2025 with these layoffs. As you know, the company hasn’t been making headlines with good news lately.

The company has made it very clear that it will not issue a recall for the problematic processors. explained.
The company said in this regard last month, “Contrary to recent media reports, Intel has not confirmed the root cause of the issues and is continuing to investigate with its partners user reports of instability issues on unlocked Intel Core 13th and 14th generation (K/KF/KS) desktop processors.” The only solution users have found to the crashing problems has been to manually slow down or lower voltage the problematic Intel processors. Because it was reported that the problems especially manifested themselves when exceeding 5 GHz.
