Given that that image shows dates in 2012, I think the author has made the classic mistake many of us make at the start of the new year, of still thinking it's the old one.

For firmware, 2012 is actually very new. I don't think manufacturers change the versions too often, even on firmware updates - they usually maintain/patch the original firmware (the version that was used when the hardware launched). A motherboard released in 2012 probably has an older version of firmware than the leaked one.

Microsoft's requirements for Windows 8 certified firmware continued changing until surprisingly far through 2012. Code from early 2012 wouldn't satisfy it.
