Yeah you are probably right. Let's hope they fix this in the next AGESA update.

Running with C6 disabled is not that much of a problem: thermally I did not notice any difference, and while the power savings would be nice, it's not a deal breaker for me personally.

Still, according to some quick tests I ran, it seems like there's a ~10% performance decrease in single-threaded workloads due to the fact that, without C6, turbo mode is disabled. Would be nice to get that back.
