Bulldozer/piledriver CPUs like the FX series and their corresponding |
30 |
G34/C32 opterons don't have PSP - they are the last and best owner |
31 |
controlled x86_64 CPU's and for now can still play the latest games at |
32 |
max settings (even supports playing in a VM via IOMMU :D) |
33 |
The 8350 and 93xx CPU's are pretty much the same the niners are just |
34 |
better binned to support the uber OC's |
35 |
|

You can have a 100% blob free owner controlled libre firmware |
37 |
workstation/server with the KGPE-D16/KCMA-D8 which is the best option |
38 |
for those who need to run x86 and thus can't get a talos or some other |
39 |
power workstation. |
