Article note: This has come up a couple times in different venues, this version links several of the earlier iterations. They seem to be so complicated no one can _exactly_ root-cause the behavior, but the gamers, and the hosters, and folks doing benchmarks and such all come to the same "there seem to be problems with Raptor Lake K-series parts that escalate over time" conclusion. I tend to believe the theory that they're slowly degrading some little chip area - likely in the memory system, probably because of localized heating and/or over-stressed power/ground routing, less likely due to some charge build up triggering migration - when run flat out near the top of the range that was supposed to be safe.
