1 I have a less-two-old N3700 CPU on a Asrock N3700-ITX board that (was)is
2 perfect for my NAS, but without pcid instruction that mitigates the last
3 pti patches slowdown.
4 Asrock said nothing about the microcode/bios update and I asked for
5 warranty return because I consider a factory defect but I think that I will
6 fight with the seller.
7 BTW, the European Community Law requires at least 2 years of warranty
8 coverage on factory defects... Proud to be European.
