You should probably add macOS so that way it doesnt just say OS because it could just mean operating system :P

Huh? Microsoft and Linux developers also have to fix this problem. OS refers to the patches being at the OS-level, which is the only way to circumvent this problem, as experts are saying.

The patches give a 20-30% performance loss. forgetin OUCH

Am I crazy or did I read something about this 2 years ago?

Thought people were already aware that this kinda hardware flaw was a thing already

i hope that extra $100 was worth it, intel plebs

Metario · January 03, 2018, 08:02:37 AM

if you think it�s bad for consumers- imagine how bad it is for companies with absurd amounts of intel-based servers
Microsoft Azure, AWS, Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr, OVH... the list goes on and on

imagine the impact it�s going to have on people who have massive EC2 instances
a lot of companies are about to be loving pissed @ intel
