"AMD later clarified that it believes there is "near zero risk" to its processors."

Yet they did release a firmware patch.

Where was this firmware patch found?

I'll probably have to do that Windows update

Oh

It was a silent update

It's already done then

I wonder how much it's effected my CPU performance :/

Ah. This was the Spectre/Meltdown fiasco from early 2018. AMD was affected by Spectre, but patched over Windows update long ago. The article I was referring to above was the new SWAPGS vulnerability.

Performance differences on AMD were negligible. Sub 1% for most.

So you should be OK.

Using the same concepts of speculative-code execution?

I didn't know there was a NEW one

A new species of it, yes.

Ah

I glanced over it and saw "Spectre and Meltdown" and "speculative-execution"

And thought it was just referring to 2018

My bad

NP

"while the vulnerability technically exists when affected chips run on other operating systems, it was "unfeasible" to exploit chips running Linux, Unix, FreeBSD, or macOS."

I really should switch over to Arch

But muh games

:/

Yeah, I know the feeling.

And have known the feeling for a very long time.

I'm starting to play games less and less now

And more games are coming to Linux

So I might be able to switch

Absolutely deplorable @ 2K @ Borderlands. For anyone still on the fence about Borderlands 3, yeah I'm sticking with my original opinion: #BoycottBorderlands #Borderlands3

Following #Borderlands3 Youtuber SupMatto's video about 2K Games intimidating him, I'm hearing from a source that 63 Copyright Claims have been filed against SupMatto and his channel will be terminated in 7 days.

This likely is retaliation (considering the timing). Just wow. 🚨
