yes but all modern CPU's do to a point

only 3-30% slower speed than advertized

no worries :"D

3-30% slower speeds in syscalls

^

if you're not running a database it's not going to make a noticeable impact

Thinking of something like this as I don't have any watercooling in my case to add a waterblock to

https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3072107/spoiler-flaw-affects-all-intel-cpus

address speculation has been mitigated quite well on certian plantforms afaik

ofc with effect of even worse hit on performance

"Performance" in applications that 99.99% of users don't care about.

considering microshit enables googles "no performance impact" patch too

man look at that

its way better what intels reply to original was

literally unusuable

still makes one wonder

useless

Computer BRICKED

absolute trash

:D

buut in all seriousness

yes there is security issue, no it wont go away, ofc it will make your pc tad bit slower, will you regonise the speed difference ? most likely not

intel cope

<--- has ryzen

They should have used their crystal ball to make a literally perfect processor, obviously

maybe using pentium 4 era bibeline arch wasn't such a good idea

but funnily enough this just shows how flaky our hardware security in reality is

closed doors, closed processes and no oversight on what goes in the chip

You say "maybe", and you mean it, because you know literally fuckall about that tech, as do 99.999999% of the people hemming and hawing about it

To be fair, your chances of getting malware like spectre or meltdown aren't very high. Either you've got to download some dodgy shit, or browse dodgy websites without having script blocking extensions running on your browser.

browsers are patched

99% of the impact of spectre/meltdown is people running on shared hardware

IE cloud

Or have someone physically upload something to your pc via a USB stick, etc

at that point you have bigger issues that what spectre/meltdown would do

on windows you're already admin anyways by default

@Semi Truck mc Clusterfuck reality check maybe 0.2% of web users use script blocking

and even that is maybe overestimate

Except if you're running Windows 10, in which case you apparently have to be admin admin to be able to access and delete certain files
