The chip giant is about to face a class action lawsuit for the racking up of instability problems arising due to faulty Intel 13th & 14th Gen CPUs.
It looks like Intel will have a hard time getting away with such a serious problem with its faulty processors that have led to major outrage among its customers.

Some users have stated that Intel has now started processing RMAs and all it requires is sending a photo of the affected CPU to get a new one as a replacement. If Intel works according to its pledge, it could mean a long and hefty RMA process that affects hundreds of thousands if not millions of such chips.
The problem escalated to such a point due to the company's negligence even though the problem has persisted for over one year. The affected processors have resulted in crashes and freezes in games and programs, forcing even game developers to consider AMD-based systems. Last week we saw Alderon Games implementing an in-game warning window to notify users about the cause of the crashes.
There have been cases of a 100% failure rate with Intel's high-end Raptor Lake and its Refresh chips that have led many users to switch to AMD platforms, especially when Intel did
