Matto17secs,
I had not seen this myself. Been out of things too long apparently. Thanks for the share on that article.
It's one of those things where people would say you would "have to be living under a rock" to have not heard about it. It's been quite a big deal since 2011 and really picked up steam after December 2012 with special reports by TechReport.com and then PCPer.com. Of course, HardOCP has been going on about it for years, but without the tools to measure it.

The problem has been acknowledged by AMD and they report that they will have a fixed driver out sometime this summer.
