Read more about Microsoft's Optional Windows patches for Intel's buggy spectre fixes.
What's even going on with Intel? Are they seriously just fooling around so that "they" don't have to cause the performance degrade?
They will be doing everything they can to make that so, yes. If they take responsibility they will have to replace every CPU they have sold.
Apparently they will be releasing mechanically patched CPUs later in the year. IE - time to start fusing off traces lmao.
Right, well maybe they should then... Instead of selling insecure CPUs worldwide, start to sell actually secure CPUs intead. Especially since you’ve been creating CPUs for decades and is the worlds largest CPU manufacturer. Hell you should know what you’re doing at this point. There’s no excuse to this!
That would likely bankrupt them many times over. I agree though, they are all faulty and really should be replaced.
