AMD still in the clear?
Sucks, my laptop and the HTPC will be hit, but not my 8 year old system. Prices on Ryzen aren't likely to improve...

Not exactly. Intel is the only one with the "meltdown" issue... So far. That is what is being patched.
A second potential vulnerability exists, but x86 chips all have some tools to prevent... Intel and AMD alike. ARM may be just getting there. Knowing its being done right may be the problem. Of course, Intel is downplaying this and talking of the shared potential problem. And it is... Only Intel has actual issues being patched, for the rest it remains potential. Big mess. Gamers likely won't care much. AWS just got 42% more expensive for equivalent compute...

There's a lot of speculation as to what the issue actually is, but my limited understanding of the recommended fix, after some digging, is that it should make starting processes slower, but once started things should speed back up. Though I'm likely wrong so I heard Microsoft quietly rolled out a patch a few months ago to some unspecified group of systems. Caught some folks by surprise when the shortcut their software was using disappeared. |

Best article I was able to find explaining Meltdown and Spectre.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/arstech...flaws/%3famp=1 Looks like there's going to be an opt-out if anyone cares, since no one is going to spend the time developing an attack against someones PC. Unless you are a millionaire. Bottom line, this is definitely a PITA if you are paid to worry about IT and security. This isn't much of a problem for your average PC user. |
