Reading the article AMD pushed a update and that update removed a feature that was once supported. There was also no mention that the update would remove said feature.
I dont know, but to me its like buying a car with heated seats. Then getting a update pushed, and those seats being disabled with no way to activate them. Or like having your old iphone performance artificially slowed through updates.
The big question is was this accidental in disabling this feature, or was it calculated. And if it was calculated why was there no announcement. The whole thing smells IMO.
Long story short, the hardware supports it, but the software disabled it.
wait. so its not something they just removed in future chips. they removed it from the firmware?
