    Great news for everyone
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    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.

    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.

    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
