Game studios such as Alderon Games, Warframe, and even Epic Games have communicated the problem to their users through blog posts, urging them to either implement Intel's directed fix or switch to alternatives likely from AMD. Now, Unreal Engine's supervisor at ModelFarm, Dylan Browne, has revealed how big of an impact Intel's instability issue is having on the company's workflow.

In a post on X, Dylan revealed that they had witnessed a 50% failure rate with Intel's Core i9-14900K & Core i9-13900K desktop CPUs.

This means one out of every two processors is exposed to instability issues, which shows the severity of the matter. Given that companies like ModelFarm are facing instability problems, one can only imagine the extent of the problem at large-scale firms and how they are being troubled by the issue. Dylan further clarified that the firm's new machines will switch to AMD's new Ryzen 9000 series desktop CPUs, claiming that "production environments need reliability."

Dylan claimed that his team implemented all the fixes advised by Intel, including implementing lower power limits and adjusting the motherboard settings, but despite multiple attempts, Intel's CPUs were still a victim of the problem. Interestingly, the 50% failure rate is measured
