The power dynamic, in this relationship, is very clear. That's why I don't let Intel off the hook for what their board partners do, especially when it's many of them and not just one or two trying to sneak a little something below Intel's radar.
im gonna be real....this is a bad take.
We've seen what a chip maker who controls what AIB's can do does to market. (nvidia does this).
It kills innovation and restricts a lot of benefits to the consumer.
That is why all nvidia GPU now are so bland and boring becasue AIB are no longer allwoed to do interesting stuff.
I do NOT want MB to also have this happen.
The only thing that "Should" happen is the default bios are stock settings following the CPU makers recommendation for stability.
This has no downside as a user can choose to change that setting if they choose to while also keeping alternative settings for MB makers to do their thing.
If undervolting is so great and so safe, then why doesn't it do that out of the box?
every build is different.
Even 2 of same CPU can have different voltage stability as not every cpu is the same.
you could undervolt 2 CPU (example 14900k) on same MB & they may not both work at same under volt settings.
