Intel Directs Motherboard Manufacturers to Adopt Official Power Profiles for Stability

In response to ongoing instability issues, Intel mandates 'Intel Default Settings' for 13th and 14th Gen CPUs to enhance system reliability.

MSI implements 'Intel Default Settings' in Z790 motherboards, addressing stability concerns for 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPUs.
Intel advises against using 'Baseline' power profiles, urging the highest possible settings based on motherboard capabilities.
Recent BIOS updates across various manufacturers aim to standardize power settings to prevent crashes under high loads.
Intel's stance causes confusion among manufacturers, with some already implementing less restrictive profiles.
The new power specifications are expected to be enforced by the end of May, with significant implications for performance and stability.
