Raptor Lake CPUs have suffered issues with permanent damage from elevated voltage due to a vulnerable clock tree circuit, resulting in instability.

[19] On September 27, 2022 at their Innovation event, Intel officially revealed six unlocked Raptor Lake SKUs launching for desktop on October 20, 2022.

[24][25] Common features of Raptor Lake desktop CPUs: Suffixes to denote: All mobile processors except for the HX series support the following types of memory: DDR5-5200, DDR4-3200, LPDDR5X-6400, LPDDR4X-4267.

CPUs in bold below feature ECC memory support only when paired with a motherboard based on the W680 chipset according to each respective Intel Ark product page.

An iterative refresh of Raptor Lake-HX mobile processors, called the 14th generation of Intel Core, was launched on Jan 9, 2024.

In February 2024, reports had begun surfacing of users of K-versions of the 13th and 14th generation Core i7 and i9 desktop CPUs commonly experiencing crashing issues in certain workload scenarios, such as video games that use DirectX 12, and HandBrake.

[38] Despite the attempted fix through BIOS updates, instances of crashes still continue to be reported as of July 2024, now largely affecting game server providers equipped with server-grade LGA1700 motherboards.

One datacenter service provider reported that it was switching some of its customers to AMD-powered game servers because of the severity of the problems and the lack of prompt fixes.

[42] A microcode update fixing a bug with the eTVB algorithm was published the previous month, but this was confirmed by Intel to not be the root cause of the problem, although it may have been a contributing factor.

[44] In an Intel blog post dated September 25, 2024, the "root cause" was finally acknowledged to be due to a "clock tree circuit within the IA core which is particularly vulnerable to reliability aging under elevated voltage and temperature".
