Intel's 14th & 13th Gen CPU instability issues are now the subject of attention in the "legal battleground," as another consumer class action firm intends to investigate the whole fiasco.
Intel's 14th & 13th Gen CPU Instability Issues Are Now Attracting Law Firms For a Class Action Lawsuit, Potentially Creating New Troubles
Intel's 14th Gen and 13th Gen CPU instability issues have come a long way from being limited to a "group of people." They have spread to the masses, influencing several game developers, content creators, professionals, and large communities. In light of this, multiple class action firms have popped up to address consumer concerns surrounding the issue to be a voice and put up the problem on legal grounds.
After Abington Cole + Ellery, it looks like Kaplan Gore, a renowned class action firm, has decided to take matters into its own hands and file a potential class action lawsuit against Intel.
In their newest post, Kaplan Gore has called out the victims of Intel's CPU instability issue, asking them to narrate the problem at their end. The law firm says that they are investigating information surrounding retail units of the 14th Gen & 13th Gen CPUs sold to consumers and retailers. Apart from this, the law firm claims that while Intel has announced extended warranties for the CPUs in general, they haven't addressed the concerns of consumers who bought the CPUs as a part of their pre-built PCs, showing that their warranty policy is indeed flawed and doesn't cover a wide range of consumers.
Kaplan Gore also claims that Intel has been reluctant to process RMA requests and hasn't provided any compensation for users who will be without their CPUs for weeks, even months, in some cases. Right now, the law firm hasn't announced its plans to proceed with a class action lawsuit since they are in the process of gathering information from consumers. Despite this, it looks like Intel isn't going to have a great time addressing concerns surrounding its consumer's CPUs, and looking at the recent quarterly earnings, it won't be wrong to say that the firm has dragged itself into a mud pit.
