Gigabyte's Instant 6 GHz' automatically overclocks the i9-13900K to 6 GHz
In the bios of its new Z790 motherboards, Gigabyte has added a "Instant 6 GHz" option. The setting speeds up one of the Intel Core i9-13900cores K's to 6 GHz on its own.
By default, an i9-13900turbo K's clock frequency is 5.8 GHz, so the difference is not very big, but 6 GHz sounds a little bit better. The mode changes the voltage and a few other CPU settings automatically. In the end, the overclocking should make that one core about 3% faster.
By simply updating the latest BIOS on GIGABYTE’s Z790 motherboards and activating related settings, users can boost the performance of Intel® Core™ i9-13900K to 6GHz in a snap. Other than the Turbo Boost mode, GIGABYTE Instant 6GHz technology can unleash the potential power of the processor to boost the single-core performance up to 3% higher, which leading up to experiencing the unparalleled performance of future processors.
The lately launched Intel® Core™ i9-13900K processor enables users to enjoy O.C. performance in an easier way. Using GIGABYTE’s latest Instant 6GHz technology, the system can automatically tweak CPU voltage and Vcore Load Line Calibration to detect the most two optimized cores running at 6GHz frequency. Instead of suffering from complex O.C settings, users can enjoy effortless Overclocking by simply updating the latest BIOS on GIGABYTE’s Z790 motherboards and activating the Instant 6GHz option in the BIOS. This further delivers a 3% performance boost on one single core, and provides an O.C. edition-like experience on i9-13900K processor.

I'd like to think anyone messing around in the BIOS enough to start changing CPU frequencies would have at least a basic grasp of how overclocking works. Also, who uses "cheap air cooling" and a i9-13900k?

E.g. parents who have money but no idea what it's all about, buying some pre built as long as "the highest number" is marketed on the box.
As for CPU frequencies, you wouldn't believe how many people pushing buttons in BIOS actually do have no idea what they're doing. "But it's so easy, just one button" is exactly what attracts people not having the knowledge to set their OCs properly, that's exactly the point of such a feature.

it already runs at 5.8ghz on a SINGLE core, so 200mhz extra on a single core isn't a lot really...

Yeah... do they also tell people about how much more power it needs? How temps rise? That they better not try that under cheap air cooling? Just wondering
