Title: BIOS update makes Intel Core Ultra CPUs offer noticeable performance improvements
Post by: Redaktion on December 23, 2023, 08:32:13
Based on reviews from UltrabookReview and Golden Pig Upgrade, the pre-release BIOS that's currently on some systems vastly undermines the performance of the new Intel Core Ultra processors. The Meteor Lake laptops offer a noticeable performance upgrade after a BIOS update.

Will the core ultra 155h review be updated with the newer pcode? Or was the data already from that? It was one of the more complete overviews of the chip so updated data would be greatly appreciated.

Intel marketing is struggling hard trying to revive DOA chip.

Correct question is "will all of the other laptop brands' reviews get updated with the latest versions of ROM/OS too"?

Question is how many bought laptops with this new chip and not the BIOS upgrade.

It's not "DOA" if a BIOS update is all that's needed to make it competitive.

All of them are getting better with newer firmware versions.

DOA is such a stupid term. It's as stupid as "delusional". Ofc 12% uplift needs to be rereviewed because something went wrong. None of the laptops Ive ever had increased by over 10% with a new firmware. Only AMD stockholders would say otherwise despite having "fine wine" written all over their place.........

Either re-review everything or don't re-review anything.
Sincerely yours, AMD stockholder.
