Intel admits that its Core Ultra 9 285K and Core Ultra 5 245K have problems, but it plans to address the issues with a significant update soon.

As for when Intel will provide an ETA on fixes, Hallock said Intel hopes to give a “comprehensive update” on what the chip’s issues are and what’s causing them by the end of November or early December. The good news is that the fix will be easy, according to Hallock, who called it a “flash the BIOS and update Windows kinda situation.”

But behind AMD's powerful new processor launch, lies Intel's latest chip troubles.

Intel was a dominant leader in the CPU market for the better part of a decade, but AMD has seen massive success in recent years thanks to its Ryzen chips.
