reading the full excerpt seems to put the reason for rejecting 6300 onto Errata 734 and it was strange to me that this wasnt addressed in your post
however i wasnt referring to you specifically as arguing in bad faith but that seems to be the attitude of some very vocal people here. i included the full excerpt in case the point is relevant. i am not an expert in this field
does the issue in Erata 734 apply to 6200?
- mindslight 5y ago> reading the full excerpt seems to put the reason for rejecting 6300 onto Errata 734 Well there are two reasons. The first is Errata 734, and the second is that the fix for Errata 734 requires loading different microcode than what was baked into the processor at manufacturing time ("6300 series CPUs have buggy microcode built-in, and libreboot recommends avoiding the updates"). I didn't mention Errata 734, because I'm focused on the second reason. Working back from their reasoning, Errata 734 seemingly does not apply to the 6200 series.
- medo-bear 5y agomindslight, i cant reply to you directly so i will do it like this. thank you for clarifying about Erata 734. if Erata 734 applied to 6200 then libreboots logic would make no sense i take no issue about with critically discussing someones logic. fud and attacks are annoying and dont contribute to a healthy discussion
