I’m sure a huge amount of people are. Had I bought an 8700k instead of an 8600k, I’d still be on 8th gen. That CPU is still in part with the consoles.

You can replace it with a 10 year old CPU from eBay. Just don’t, unless it’s like $20. We’re at DDR5 and you’re on DDR3 RAM.
It’s about 10% slower than a Ryzen 5600x in games.
Look at Hardware Unboxed on YouTube. They just made a video about these boards.
So is that Battlemage or not? Are they just sticking to Arc for laptop and APUs because it’s more suited in some way?
I just don’t see how any 12% RAM speed increase can cause more than a 12% gain. Bottlenecks shouldn’t have this kind of effect.
A 33% speed increase for a 12% memory bump makes no sense at all. Typically a 12% OC like your describing would not result in more than a 6% increase, and on average we’re likely talking less than 4%. Hell, even going to DDR5 6000 should not get you a 33% performance pump. Typically 4000MT/s DDR4 has per lose timings, that makes it not much better than a 3600 kit with tight timings.
Processors do wear out over time, but usually not this fast. Might be that undervolt was just barely stable at one point. And maybe even unstable in some conditions you never tested. Now even the tiniest amount of wear, has dropped it below the line.
Could also be RAM being defective. But that’s usually from factory, not wear in.
