The rise of complaints against Intel's computer chipset known as the Raptor Lake, its 13th and 14th generation, is now transforming into a possible class action lawsuit that would have the company in the hot seat. In recent months, there have been many complaints from different users who have faced issues with the use of the latest Intel chipsets that were not performing as expected.
It is also known that Intel already acknowledged the issue with a message to the community, claiming that its chips as far as 20203 are affected by the issue.
Intel to Face a Class Action Lawsuit for its Raptor Lake

The law firm called Abington Cole + Ellery has posted a notice to users who were affected by the known issue of Intel's 13th and 14th-generation chipsets, particularly those who have the Raptor Lake processors from 2023. The notice to users is calling upon those who are affected by the issue to join the class they are forming for a class-action lawsuit against the company.
Originally posted last July 30 only, the firm is now building a case against Intel and zhaving them answer to the issues customers faced with their faulty processors.
It was revealed in the proposed lawsuit that Intel's 13th and 14th-generation chips have instability issues, centering on elevated operating voltages.
The issue is not a speculation from users or the firm as it was previously confirmed by Intel's employee on a community forum that these 13th and 14th gen chips are indeed faulty. This centers on processors that were made as far as 2023, and this is a result of a microcode algorithm that leads to incorrect voltage notices to the processor, ultimately running into problems.
Intel's Computer Chips
For many years, Intel has been known for its development of its computer chips that significantly power a significant chunk of PCs in the world, with a yearly release for its new processors. In 2022, Intel introduced the world to its 13th-generation Raptor Lake chipset which was its flagship series that lasted until 2023, a chip that rivals AMD's Zen 4 Ryzen 7000.
It was succeeded by the 14th-generation chipset known as the Meteor Lake, and it has significantly changed the design and manufacturing of the computer processor compared to last year's mode. Intel's architecture of the chip centers on a LEGO-like CPU design, touting the massive new capabilities of its renowned Core i-series, first unveiled in last year's Computex.
Despite being one of the best-known chip manufacturers for well over fifty decades already, lately, Intel has fallen behind other chip manufacturing companies and is facing a massive controversy over its design and quality. The issue is real for users who bought the 13th and 14th gen chipset, and now lawyers are assembling a class for a possible lawsuit to fall on Intel's lap.
