Funnily enough, an individual by the same username trolls the r/linux_gaming subreddit, sprinkling his Microsoft fairy dust at every opportunity. You'd almost think he was a bot or something. As far as trolls go, this guy is next level.

Technically speaking, the OS (Android) isn't doing the spying - It's Gapps (Google proprietary software) that's doing the spying.

Because reading this post, you're a hypocrite:

Yes, fast/tight profiles are not guaranteed to work depending on your IMC as well as a number of other factors - Such is the nature of XMP profiles, not too sure just what you're trying to argue here. See above. Linpack and Prime are not enough, you need specialized tools to check for...

Your 13900KS is an overclocked processor out of the box, constantly pushing itself to the bleeding edge of performance - You'd want to use those specialized tools to check for degradation. As for overclocked ram, it's called an XMP profile, and I've never seen it enabled 'out the box'.

As quoted here: I totally agree. However, I believe not all CPU's are showing any sign of lasting damage - In a number of cases simply enabling all limiters as per Intel specification seems to resolve any stability issues.

No, no it's not. CPU's are binned according to clock speed, quite often certain CPU's will be binned at a lower clock speed than the speeds they're realistically capable of to fill a popular slot in the market. Such CPU's can be pushed to higher clock speeds with no notable increase regarding...

.... My CPU's showed no observable degradation under any workload presented to the processors in question. There was nothing to 'narrow down' as the CPU's in question handled every workload presented to them in a faultless manner. Unlike the Intel CPU's highlighted in the topic of this thread...

Except I don't need specialized tools to observe the possibility of operational degradation regarding the CPU's in question, which was my point from the beginning. No goal posts were shifted whatsoever. In the case of this very thread, Intel CPU's are showing observable degradation due to the...

Well if that's the case, than you can't claim electromigration can be a problem during the lifespan of a CPU without specialized tools. So checkmate, my point still stands. The 8700k in my sig has been running at between 5GHz with AVX offset and 4.8GHz without AVX offset since 2018, all cores...

BBC Model B with 6502 @ 2MHz says hello, the secondary 6502 expansion at 3MHz gives a fist pump. EDIT: MHz...Not GHz.

... Keep vcore and temps within acceptable limits and electromigration simply isn't a problem.

So CPU's degrade as a result of overclocking, but you need pretty specialized equipment to measure the degradation... ...Yeah, no. In the time I owned each and every overclocked CPU, by the time I was ready to pass that CPU on it was still running perfectly with no observable degradation...

I've been overclocking since the Celeron 300a days, possibly earlier if you consider I have a Commodore Amiga running an overclocked 68030 25MHz @ 40MHz. I've never encountered any degradation as a result of overclocking in all the years I've been doing it.

Holy hell...1.6v vcore? I find it ironic that we moved away from Netburst and back to the P6 architecture due to power consumption/thermal issues, and now here we are with processors that run as micro furnaces to the point that an AIO is a minimum necessity.
