Your CAS latency is 36 whereas mine is 30. How much that means in terms of performance, I have no idea. Theoretically speaking, a lower CAS is better.

Minimal, in practice you will not feel, but if you run only benchmarks, it can be measured :D
And yes, lower is better.

As usual, if your system is already stable, don't mess with it.

100% wrong for AGESA. it may be true for Intel systems, but seen how AGESA worked over the years. you totally should always update if a new AGESA is out.

It seems the downside of AM4 as a long lived socket is the inability to keep the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" strategy when in comes to UEFI/BIOS updates from the many bugs and regressions that occurred over time. There is no way or its too complicated for AMD/Board Vendors to fork AGESA for each Chipset/CPU generation that needs to be supported so we get an endless train of updates with a higher possibility of regressions occurring as new Chipsets and CPU's are released.

Hopefully AM5 will be an improvement and the QA will be tighter from AMD and board venders this time around although the recent issue with the exploding CPU's doesn't give me the warm and fuzzy feeling I was hoping for.

What good would that do, if your system is stable to begin with?

I totally DONT want that thing ever to touch my board. No benchmarks so far. If you cant disable the mitigation, I dont want it to be on my board. What a mess, if you are forced to use it if newer AGESA are needed and you cant disable the mitigations.

I'm sure that we'll soon have benchmarks.
