The problem is Intel has allowed what the motherboard manufacturers are doing to be in spec. So long as the board is not changing the clock speed of the CPU but rather adjusting the allowed power delivery and turbo time it is in spec. This is a problem of Intel's creation. Frankly it's downright annoying that motherboards come set to 4096 Amps and infinite turbo times as it means thermal throttling and a lot of noise for marginal performance gains. It also seems instability in a lot of cases as well. What they are doing however is in spec, thus Intel is to blame for this mess however they may try to pass the buck to the motherboard manufacturers.
