In BD's case its the cpu.....can it be fixed with bios? Well psc is tuning is 180 degrees tuning of hyper and no compat issues with BD and sold currently.

Worth electrically retuning board for a dated IC? No.

Worth losing compatibility with a currently sold IC? No.

This is just the basics before release of a product.
Of course.

Same goes for intel setups though (not sure bout lynnfield/bloomfield as much), but same went for Thuban, I feel like the clocks have more to do with something of the IC than just tuning the platform...of maybe just all the platforms aren't tuned for Hypers...but I feel there's more.

As far as microcode not flashing back on CHV, I still don't really understand this...
