At some point CPU manufacutrers started treating overclocking as a feature rather than somethings hobbyists do and then computer OEMs started to tune things for this, but due to the quick generation cycles without any kind of long term testing it's only been a matter of time until we started seeing these issues since Moors law hasn't helped much with single core performance for years.

My current laptop was getting uncomfortably hot when some random browser pages started pressing the cpu, after searching I noticed that the default setting was to enable some kind of "Boost Mode" (that's basically overclocking in the classic sense), disabling that made a world of difference and looking at the failure rates of the Ryzen 5000 series in the article I'm not a single bit surprised about it.

Googling the laptop family you get tons of Reddit hits, https://www.reddit.com/r/ZephyrusG14/comments/gho535/importa...
