    shockingly the solution is harder throttling...

      Where do you get that? Sounds like they improved performance over the previous "fixes":

      > Intel's internal tests show that the 0x12B update does not noticeably affect performance. Benchmarks and gaming tests, including popular titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, showed results within normal expected variations when compared to the earlier 0x125 update.

        biggest issue with those chips on mobile is very aggressive thermal throttling. i dont have experience with desktop or server line because i just run amd for years (mostly because of ecc support on the entire line)

        > Second, the eTVB microcode allowed certain 13th and 14th Generation Core i9 processors to maintain high performance even at elevated temperatures, which was corrected with the 0x125 microcode update released in June 2024.
