The calm voice of the navigator adds to the effect
Even if they wind up rolling down a hill
Navigator be like "fuck. You alright?"
"long flat left (maybe)"
(maybe)
not the word you want to hear.
Reminds me of Colin McRae Rally on the... Sega Saturn?
every now and then your navigator would be like
(maybe)
and you're like FFS JUST DON'T
What really you don't want to hear is "Uh... where are we? Hang on, let me grab my phone."
heh
Didn't Google say that AMD was also affected?
The intel-specific one is drastically worse.
The intel bug is the one that will have the 5~30 % impact on performance.
lets be realistic it will be a 25% decrease on avarage
But it is mostly for servers
Gaming preformance wont be affected
Oh, really, well I guess that's better for me, then.
Benchmarking websites have to redo everything that was released by intel in the last 10 years and set up new benchmarks
Performance impact is higher if you're doing virtualization, apparently. We gotta wait and see.
Most of the impact will be cloud hosts, they instantly lost up to 30% in server performance.
I guess we'll have to wait, then.
So they will probably increase their prices.
We know what the Linux kernel patch looks like, we have yet to see Microsoft's patch.
Well this is a PR win for AMD
If you're thinking of building a gaming rig, CPU prices will probably go down.
Yes I am waiting on that
Wanted to buy a few weeks ago but now I am waiting how this plays out
Can't afford a new rig.
And mine it's not that outdated.
there's no need to wait, the performance impact is factually established at 5-30% depending on workload
which essentially translates to ~0 for gaming use
phoronix has some tests where 3d benchmarks are hit by ~3%, which is nothing to consider
Do you think it will impact prices?
no
