I own a T430 and T420. It seems there is not a strong motivation for doing the T430/T530 port. Unlike the T420/T520, the obvious benefit of coreboot is it can replace the sandy bridge CPU with an ivy bridge one. What are the explicit benefits that coreboot can bring to the T430/T530 except opensource/security?
-Unlock RAM speed and WIFI whitelist removel? There are already Modded BIOS for this -Remove evil ME? Or improve the start time by some seconds? It seems there is hardly any significant performance improvement 2016-12-04 13:08 GMT+08:00 Iru Cai <[email protected]>: > > > On 2016年12月04日 07:18, Nico Huber wrote: > > On 03.12.2016 01:46, Sam Kuper wrote: > >> On 02/12/2016, Nico Huber <[email protected]> wrote: > >>> The T430 seems to be unsupported. > >>> Also I guess, it would only be one or two days of work > >> One or two days of work for whom?
