Is AMD really problem-free

During the previous test we made an interesting discovery which leads us the the next step, can you affect an AMD system then?
Yes



How to do it: Run cmd as admin and paste the following line:
bcdedit /set {current} useplatformclock No
or
bcdedit /deletevalue {current} useplatformclock

But, it affects the AMD platform only on the next boot because after that, Windows 8 automatically set/add back the "useplatformclock" parameter in the BCD and set it to "Yes". Some kind of autofix that isn't present when you install Windows 8 on an Intel platform.
