I'm curious about this.

 

[H001iGAN]

does it make it not suck? or is it like a 5% performance increase, which would bring it up to suck alittle less.

After you install this hotfix, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 fully support AMD Bulldozer CPUs. Therefore, the CPUs operate at the expected performance level.

The CPUs will operate at the expected performance level. What does that mean?

It will suck but now with no excuse?

Cool, there is also a new bios for the ASUS Sabertooth 990FX mobo, 901, which corrects steam issues, is faster as well (at least as reported). Will have to try these tomorrow though.

As for testing it will have to be done compairing two conditions, with and without hotfix which I doubt many will do. Just compare it to next round of cpu comparison on reviews where it counts.

Im under the impression its gonna be like 5-10% above suck. So that means its...less suck than before?

It was a can of whoopass ready to be unleashed 5 years ago. They decided to try to recycle it so its kind of an old, stanky and stale whoopass now.

Stolen from sweclockers:

Nytt=new, Tidigare=earlier, in this case without the hotfix.
