Could be a case of a bad batch of ram you've got on your hands if it's not the voltages as that will definitely cause all sorts of funky and unrelated errors. Have you tried running programs like memtest to check for errors?
If you mean they're sandbagging themselves then that is something that can't be done over time, because in that case you'd be just holding progress back. If they did sandbag themselves at one point so the next generation of cpus would seem more impressive then after that second generation you'd be back up to using the best there is again. If they alternate between sandbagging and then releasing something really impressive then for every two families of cpus released there'd be no change from
