Guys,the reviewers already have all they need to test the platform correctly. AMD is not going to supply them with a last minute magic BIOS/OS workaround/whatever ,that is not how they operate. You cannot do that so close to product launch,it would invalidate all the work reviewers have done.And to make a decent review it takes a lot of time and testing.
This is it when it comes to performance. How is AMD going to spin this is unknown. I await for explanations why single thread IPC is not up like we were promised,why legacy SIMD(SSE) performance is slower than X6/X4,why multicore scaling is so poor in some workloads etc.
