A modder known as 'kryptonfly' successfully booted an unsupported 12 P-core Bartlett Lake CPU in Windows on an Asus Z790 motherboard after overcoming various challenges with BIOS modding using Claude AI. The process involved troubleshooting issues like memory initialization to enable the system to boot into Windows. Despite some remaining problems, such as the CPU failing to enter the BIOS, this achievement marks progress towards making Bartlett Lake fully functional on mainstream LGA 1700 motherboards. The modder is now exploring implementing the BIOS on other boards like the Asus Apex and Encore LGA 1700 socket versions.
