Intel ICC "Cripple AMD" Function?

[AfroLedgend]

I recently saw Brian Kraznich's AMA on Reddit and I saw a question that really concerned and interested me. This is the most recent discussion I can find about it http://www.amdzone.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=532&t=138574 and it seems that this hadn't been resolved. It has concerned me as I use an AMD A10 5757m APU and I want to ask anyone here if this function still exists atm?

Hasn't been fixed, will never be.

Unfortunately this has been around a long time and will probably stay for a long time. Although I think they've backed off with the extremely obvious things and made the difference minute as to avoid bad press.

I realize this is the sad truth but I was hopeful of another answer. How foolish of me for thinking Intel would make things fair.

At the end of the day you gotta keep your Shareholders happy as a business. Artificially reducing AMD performance is indeed- bad. But it's not as if AMD aren't relevant because of it.
