    It’s not so much destruction as it’s unnecessary anymore IMO. They don’t leave much performance on the table with dynamic clocking / voltages. It’s a more efficient usage of silicon ultimately.

    I miss getting “free” power by knowing how to overclock, but I’m also kinda over it. I cut my teeth on a K6-2 with jumpers to set voltage/multiplier, so I’m kinda glad to have parts do 95% of their max speed right out of the box now. It was fun while it lasted.
