Yeah, its only gonna get worse and all the air heads who get mad at me for pointing out where their crashing is coming from are all going to act blindsided when their system doesn’t even boot anymore.

TBF the only reason you could get a 1GHz overclock was because Intel was being super conservative with the clock speeds back then. If they really wanted to, they could have made the chips run a faster by default and given you less overclocking headroom.
These days, Intel, AMD, and Nvidia all push the clock speeds to the limit already surpassing 4GHz or even 5GHz, leaving little to no headroom for overclocking. Intel is currently having an issue with a buggy chip that dies fast but hopefully that is just an outlier.

For real, my 5820k stock turbo is 3.6GHz but I’ve had it overclocked at 4.4GHz daily since 2015. People keep telling me it’s old and crap but it still runs every game I throw at it perfectly fine.
Definitely going AMD when I do decide to upgrade though Intel just isn’t what it used to be.

When i see my 13700KF overheating without a 360 AIO and my old Intel Dual Core 2.5Ghz who could take 4.3Ghz stable 24/7 on air cooling…
Sure… Intel had took shitty decisions…
But motherboard manufacturers has made the thing as bad it could be too…
Fragile CPUs by design with unrecommended power specs…
Yes… It breaks…
The worst thing is to see servers without high frequencies and slow ram having 50% of RMA on the 14th generation…
That’s totaly unacceptable for a professionnal.
It means you could have some days where your system is faulty or unreachable.

Idk about intel but with amd im still kind of getting the same result, my previous fx 6300 i overclocked from 3.5ghz to 4.4ghz no issues and my new r5 5500 is also running at 4.4ghz, the funny thing is that fx6300 has been working oc to 4.4ghz for over 10 years and it still works to this day

amd is the opposite

Intel in 2007:
You can overclock twice to 3.2ghz on stock cooler if you want

Can’t wait for the rerelease of the Pentium 4, aka Raptor Lake

I remember my I7 950 @4.2Ghz from day one of this thing going retail mid 2009 and replaced by a Ryzen 2700 in 2019
Happy decade.

I had an i3-8350k from Q4 2017 that could be overclocked by almost 1ghz with a mid range cooler, some actually managed to oc it from 4ghz to 5 and beyond. I’ve used AMD ever since I sold that one since that’s the gen Intel CPUs started being released with shit value.

No kidding. I’m really rooting for intel. I don’t want an implosion as it would be bad for x86 in the long run.

Well deserved tbh
