Looks like if we want to split hairs, the 4k QD1 reads took a very slight hit. PCMark application loading bench confirms that as well...

Wish Samsung could be a little more descript in what they've done to the fw. If helping dirty-state write is the only tweak, so be it.

Thanks again.
Agreed , i have retest again and getting more or less the same numbers over and over again ( the 4k QD1 reads took a very slight hit = True ) , not much of a difference from the old firmware , writes are somewhat faster by a slight margin and more consistent , very small gain in writes. But overall good firmware , i say give it a go guys . I trust Samsung , my 830 ssds has been going strong since they came out without a hickup. but as you said , it would be nice to know what exactly they did on this firmware. Not bad , not bad at all.
