I wonder if anybody is going to do a more comprehensive review of the microcode performance improvements? Cinebench is one thing, but it’d be nice to know if the improvements are more broadly applicable too.

I got the impression that this simply allows ASRock's "Base Frequency Boost" to work with 14th gen non K's. If that's the case it should affect everything.
These BIOS are all labelled as "beta" also.
