Intel Devils Canyon receives support on ASUS Z87 @ Madshrimps

Interesting news development today.  ASUS released a BIOS update for their Z87 fleet in order to provide compatibility with the newer Haswell Refresh chips.  So the question is, how long before other manufactuers release updates for their own Z87 boards, or will ASUS end up standing alone with this decision?  My prediction is that the wait won't be too long, as consumer pressure should hopefully win out to add extended life to the older Z87s and motivate the manufacturers to follow suit.

Till now all motherboard manufacturers were sticking to Intel's plan to ensure compatibility with the upcoming Intel K SKU processor aka the Devils Canyon. ASUS released today a BIOS update for the Z87 chipset-based Gene VI providing official support for the new unlocked flagship Haswell Refresh processors.
