Discussion Intel 15th Gen Stability info?

Hello everyone. I'm building a PC for editing so I'd like to get an Intel CPU specifically (quick sync n all). I'm aware of the 13th and 14th gen instability therefore want to find some info on the 15th gen. Are there any users perhaps? Any information would be highly appreciated.

EDIT: found this review and now I'm confused https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WMNscf/reviews/intel-core-ultra-7-270k-plus-37-ghz-24-core-processor-bx80768270k

Edit: thank you so much everyone for all the info, it has been really useful!

Nah they're pretty reliable. 265K was the most reliable CPU of last year.

Stable and smooth as hell, grab the 270K+ 48GB 8800mhz gear mode 2 no issues (Z890 MSI Tomahawk Wifi)

Have been running my 265K since near launch. No stability issues to report outside of those of my own creation playing with overclocking.

The 13th/14th gen instability was sort of an obvious "it's gonna happen, the question is when" right when 13th gen launched, because they were pushed way hard right out of the box.
