>It slows single-threaded programs the most. That means this definitely wasn't caused by an out-of-spec high power limit set on the motherboards. So the common theory was wrong. No, low thread workloads draw more volts than high thread workloads. This is easily observable using anything that measures CPU voltages. Single threaded use cases seeing more impact, if any, is completely within expectations. That said, Intel said performance drops should be negligible if any. I haven't updated my system yet since ASUS's releases are currently marked as beta, but I don't expect there to be notable performance drops either. Granted, my 14700K in my daily driver has been working perfectly fine since I bought it and so have all the other Raptor Lake machines I care for.
