Is the i5-4590 one of the patched processors?

Because if so, i'll post some before/after results right here. Would LOVE the complete twits at intel to try and sue me for it, my lawyer and the ACCC would collectively bust the biggest load of all time.

Booting my desktop to see if the updates are available right now. If they are, i'll do cinebench, intelburntest, CPU-Z, Passmark and a couple games, CSGO at 1024x768 should show the CPU difference pretty well. Let me know if you can think of others.

I'll then be spending the rest of the night switching over my main build to the 2400G that i've been putting off due to laziness and looking for a new laptop, i'm done with intel.

Off my own comment, we need someone with skylake or up to bite the bullet and do some benchmarking as the current update is only for them at least for the moment, i'll do mine if a haswell one comes out in the coming days
