    Because they are pushing their chips even harder. AMD literally pegs them at the maximum temperature these days. It’s basically factory overclocking for both companies. Of course it’s going to run into issues, voltage + temperature fries chips

      Factory overclocking is a marketing term. Overclocking means running a processor above its specified speed, but if it intentionally ships that way from the factory it is by definition operating within specification.

      Fair point though factory overclocking has been a thing for years with base and boost speeds on Intel and and cpus. I guess they’re just pushing them a little too much.

        Sure, but the spec is not in line with what the silicon can take, leading to degradation and stability issues
