“Contrary to recent media reports, Intel has not confirmed root cause.”
Those documents suggest that part of the problem is how Intel’s chips have been erroneously overclocking their own cores, using a feature called Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (eTVB), even when they should have known they were running too hot to do that.

But while Intel confirms eTVB was potentially part of the problem, it’s apparently not the “root cause” of the whole issue.
