  I’m curious if the particular setup they have at those cafes results in their PCs being surveyed repeatedly, which might help explain why they have an outsized effect on the dataset. Because I can’t see 75% of all 5070s in existence actually belonging only to Chinese gaming cafes.

  Unfortunately this is a separate issue. The main problem that is blowing up now is that the CPUs are rapidly degrading to the point of failure even with completely standard settings and normal usage. And ironically, boosting the voltage to solve the issue you’re talking about might then accelerate the degradation issue, because the leading theory seems to be that the high voltage that i9s use is frying the ringbus.

  All around just a terrible situation for Intel and their customers
