Tried it out. Impressions:
Defenetly has bigger difference than 2103 and 2302. Seems to enter setup little faster (into Advanced Mode). Has some new options (see below) and seems to have broken offset voltage

New options added:
*DRAM DATA REF Voltage on CHA (AI Tweaker - Main)
*DRAM CTRL REF Voltage on CHA (AI Tweaker - Main)
*DRAM DATA REF Voltage on CHB (AI Tweaker - Main)
*DRAM CTRL REF Voltage on CHB (AI Tweaker - Main)
*Graphics Configuration - Primary Display: Auto|PCIE|PCI (Advanced - System Agent Configuration)
*PCI ROM Priority: Legacy ROM|EFI Compatible ROM (Boot - Main)

Changed position/naming:
*Intel Virtualization Technology (Advanced - CPU Configuration) is moved to the bottom of the list.
*Duty Control: C.Probe Current (AI Tweaker - Main) renamed to Extreme.

Now the bad side. With the exact same setting i had on my 2500K before i was unable to boot into windows with 3209. I was using Offset voltage - 0.065
Now even when i lowered it to 0.010 (meaning CPU got more voltage and was closer to the Auto setting) i was still unable to get stable (Bcode 124 BSOD within 60 seconds of boot). Bcode 124 usually indicates too low vcore.
yet when i set Manual voltage at 1.35 everything is rock solid as it was before. Previously with Offset voltage CPU IDLE-d at around 0.93v and went up to 1.35 at LOAD. So defenetly seems like Offset voltage is not working properly in this BIOS.

And finally a little bit of good news - Sleep mode is finally working for me . Granted it only works when using Manual voltage and i still cant use keyboard or mouse to wake the PC (i have to use power button), but it's a start. I clearly remember with previous versions when i tested - using Offset or Manual voltage made no difference - sleep mode didnt work. It sorta works now so its a progress. Hopefully with the next version they will patch the offset voltage and get sleep working with it.

EDIT:
Im thinking of going back to 2302 as i cant get the sleep mode to work reliably in 3209 and like i said offset voltage is borked...
On a sidenote. Anyone has the following message in Event Viewer? (if you're using windows):

The embedded controller (EC) returned data when none was requested. The BIOS might be trying to access the EC without synchronizing with the operating system. This data will be ignored. No further action is necessary; however, you should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS

This happened in 2302 but not in 3209 anymore...
