Vmin Shift Instability Root Cause 

Intel® has localized the Vmin Shift Instability issue to a clock tree circuit within the IA core which is particularly vulnerable to reliability aging under elevated voltage and temperature. Intel has observed these conditions can lead to a duty cycle shift of the clocks and observed system instability.  

Intel® has identified four (4) operating scenarios that can lead to Vmin shift in affected processors: 

1. Motherboard power delivery settings exceeding Intel power guidance. 
   a.  Mitigation: Intel® Default Settings recommendations for Intel® Core™ 13th and 14th Gen desktop processors.  
2. eTVB Microcode algorithm which was allowing Intel® Core™ 13th and 14th Gen i9 desktop processors to operate at higher performance states even at high temperatures. 
   a.  Mitigation: microcode 0x125 (June 2024) addresses eTVB algorithm issue.  
3. Microcode SVID algorithm requesting high voltages at a frequency and duration which can cause Vmin shift. 
   a.  Mitigation: microcode 0x129 (August 2024) addresses high voltages requested by the processor.  
4. Microcode and BIOS code requesting elevated core voltages which can cause Vmin shift especially during periods of idle and/or light activity. 
   a.  Mitigation: Intel® is releasing microcode 0x12B, which encompasses 0x125 and 0x129 microcode updates, and addresses elevated voltage requests by the processor during idle and/or light activity periods.  

Lenovo P3 Tower Bios update Aug 21st 2024

 New Update. CPU Revision 129 . I still had to remove my GPU for the BIOS update to start.

CHANGES for S0IKT6CA / WU Version 1.0.0.108

  - Enhance firmware capsule update support.
  - Update CPU microcode for Intel 13th and 14th generation CPU instability issue.

Lenovo P3 Tower BIOS Update Aug 1st 2024

New BIOS Update available. May my Intel 13th Gen live a long life. Some things I noticed with these updates. 

1. I had to remove my GPU.
2. Have patience, Once it reboots you have to wait and wait. It will be a black screen for a while, but it will reboot, then the Lenovo screen will show up. Then it will reboot a few more times. Just let it do its' thing. Once it loads into your OS it is done.

CHANGES for S0IKT6BA / WU Version 1.0.0.107

  - Enhancement to address security vulnerability CVE-2023-2650, CVE-2023-3817, CVE-2023-5678, CVE-2023-45733, CVE-2023-49141.
  - Enhancement to address security vulnerability LEN-153507.
  - Enhance BIOS Setup support.
  - Enhance firmware capsule update support.
  - Optimize Intel DTT CPU performance.
  - Update secure wipe app to v1.9.5.1.
  - Update CPU microcode.

Note: It looks like this is Revision 0x123

ProjectPier Status update #1

I've been having permissions and project issues, it was looking like my installation was misconfigured or missing some data. After digging through the installer it looks like my hunch was correct. The installer still needs more work though.

Time to get rid of some domains

I have too many domains and not enough time to implement projects. I'm not even sure if I would even have time to get to them. So I'm going through the list of domains and started listing some on them on domain market places. I guess it's better than it just sitting there and not doing anything. It would suck if I somehow had time to work on all of the projects and the domains got bought. Well you can't buy time..

And the projects I'm currently working on are:

• Updating the Projects in my GitHub Repos 
• Jobskee-fork
• ProjectPier-core
• Checksum-Compare
• PHPXreF(ork)
• Websites
• A social network (well, doesn't everyone make one)
• Updating this Blog
• An profile picture generator site
• A browser game (basically a nation building game with market, resources, taxes...)
• Game Development
• Just some small random games to try to create new game features.
