There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent (www.theverge.com)

It has been wise for years to subtract 15-20% off Intel's initial performance claims and benchmarks at release. Spectre and Meltdown come to mind, for example. There's always some post-release patch that hobbles the performance, even when the processors are stable. Intel's corporate culture is to push the envelope just a little too far then walk it back quietly after the initial positive media coverage is taken care of.

Yes, but lucky for some of us that practice is still illegal in parts of the world. I just don't get why they still get away with it (they do get fines but the over all practice is still normalized).

I sure would not want any 13 or 14 gen Intel in any equipment I was responsible for. Think of the risk over any IT departments head with these CPUs in production, you would never really trust them again.
