Now, will Intel get dirty and start throwing brown envelopes around to stop qualifiers being put in to acknowledge AMD CPUs don't need the crippling code?
You do know that Intel's current market cap is about 22x that of AMD, right????
There won't be Windows benchmarks until Microsoft rolls out its patch to the insider builds I wouldn't think?
Hopefully AMD's request to have their CPU's excluded from the patches goes through. Now I am wondering if I should buy a Ryzen now before shortages happen.
There will be no shortages, Ryzen CPU yields are 85%+Globalfoundies has enough production capacity.
This is crazy scary. Would this effect a Haswell E as well?
Ha, it won't be the Core line that will be crippled by this, it'll be Xeon.
AMD may just need almost every Ryzen die for EYPC packages. With the margins of the two products, there is no real discussion as to which gets priority.
Phoronix's test uses the 4.15 kernel.Hmm... just heard some *rumours* (allegedly from #gentoo-de ) that the kernel 4.14.11 would not have all the patches yet and in consequence the performance penalty could not be measured yet.
Should I update my 2015 build of Windows 10 now before Windows Update forces this patch on my devices?
Are you saying you have not done any security updates ever?
Could go as far back as the Pentium II.
So your security precautions are to not apply security updates. That makes sense.That's correct. I use open source software mostly (apart from iTunes, Steam and some of the stock Windows apps) and just keep my browser updated as my "security updates".
Well, it looks like the MSM found out about the flaw... Pre-market Intel is down 2.73% and AMD up over 6%.
