That techspot review triggers me. Why does the guy go on and on about how impractical the 13900 is compared to the 12900, since the 13900 is "throttling"? Yeah, the 13900K hits a steady state of 5300MHz with all cores active and stays that way forever, which is great! The apparently "more practical" 12900K hits 4900MHz on all cores and does the job slower but it's "not throttling". This makes zero sense.

The popular tech press understanding of how closed-loop control systems work is just REALLY annoying.
