For way too long Intel has been writing checks its firmware couldn't cash
Its nice to see that the truth has finally caught up with Intel, which for way too long has had some perfornance gains on buggy and insecure firmware. When you put optimizations in the right place, as it would appear that AMD has been doing lately, you should hopefully reap the benefits.
What is lamentable is how for so long, in these times where the media has been diluted, Intel has been able to get away flogging inferior and seriously defective kit.
