NO AMD isn't allowed to any thing good, only NEGATIVE news has been posted here in recent times.

I will test this in 2-3 weeks time when I get 10 690G motherboards :) .

Good question...

Deleting an offensive post or locking a thread is bad enough but editing someone else's posts is taking censorship to an entirely different level.

And how do you propose to apply this bios update for an amd platform to an intel one for additional performance?

see here no intel processor support:

Hence it means ought to intel users.

This is gonna blow up and get locked. Why does someone always feel the need to step on AMD?

Because it seems that "someone" really doesn't like(to put it mildly) company named AMD and wants to see it dead and gone.Which is sad.

This isn't going anywhere until it goes away of natural causes.

nobody probably wants to see that, even intel fanboys will pay a premium for their processors if there's no competition, look what nvidia does with their ultra :nono:
