    13th and 14th gen are literally the exact same hardware as 12th gen, but with boosted clock speeds and power requirements. Basically, intel is struggling to develop new hardware, as they’re beginning to be limited by things like atom size and the speed of light across the width of the chip. So instead of developing new hardware, they just slapped new code onto the 12th gen chips and called them a new generation.

    But they made the rookie mistake of not adequately dealing with heat dissipation (which is easy to make when overclocking,) and chips are burning out.
