yeah... might be. Although it felt like this is a more common issue with newer
CPUs, especially 10th gen Intel CPUs and was wondering if there is a way to
mitigate it in software. Limiting the max clock helped to reduce it, so I was
wondering if there could be some nice ideas for people too lazy or not wanting
to bother with replacing the laptop or whatever.
