Amusingly, I don't think the summary in the article or article title correctly summarizes the legalese. What is forbidden seems to be to "publish or provide" benchmark results. So let's I boot my machine with the new microcode, run a benchmark, then reboot it with the old microcode and upload the results to my website (hosted on a machine that doesn't run the new microcode). I don't see how this violates the terms of the license. In general, these terms doesn't seem to be very carefully phrased. Point (i), and independently point (iii), apparently prevent you from running the software altogether.
