Four motherboard makers have come forward and issued press releases about new firmware they are releasing that limits the SoC voltage, thus preventing this issue. What further evidence is needed?

The question is if they limit abnormal voltage, or just lock to "safe" ones. this might not be a solution, this could be just a workaround basically crippling oc

AFAIK none of them said anything about what is happening nor what their fix is doing

That can simply be a preemptive measure to prevent a further user meltdown.
