"Doesn't this show that it is time for someone to set up some kind of ..."
I don't think this is necessary ...
I think "circumventing" this benchmarking restriction is as simple as having one person purchase an Intel CPU and just drop it on the ground somewhere ... and have another person pick it up off of the street (no purchase, no EULA, no agreement entered into) and decide to benchmark the found item against other items.
"I found a chip on the ground that had these markings and numbers on it and here is how it performed against an AMD model."
- wolfgke 8y agoI think that one has to apply the microcode patches after startup. For this, you have to obtain the microcode patch file from somewhere. So I am not sure whether this "legal hack" will work.
- appleflaxen 8y agowhy can't you drop a computer with the microcode patches already applied?
