I don’t think any of what you say is true.

> Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost (Intel® TVB) is a feature that opportunistically and automatically increases clock frequency above single-core and multi-core Intel® Turbo Boost Technology frequencies based on how much the processor is operating below its maximum temperature and whether turbo power budget is available

TVB specifically is exclusive to the i9 product line, but K SKUs in the i7 line have also experienced a heightened occurrence of stability issues.

So you kind of have to go all in on Turbo boost 3.0 as the issue and then explain why the non-K variants of the i7 and i9 don't seem to have the same frequency of occurrence.

Intel's arcane product line claims many victims.
