Very interesting Intel CPU problem
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01...u_design_flaw/
The gist of it: Intel CPUs for the past 10 years or so have had a serious design flaw that makes the kernel vulnerable. All OSs using Intel will have to be patched, resulting in a 5-30% slowdown in software because kernel operations will have to run in a separate process from software. In other words, when you write a file or do any other basic system functions, the software won't be able to just call up the line to get the job done. Too risky. It will have to send the request to the kernel running in a separate process, like making requests to another, separate software program. Patches due soon. Solutions: If the patch is problematic your options will be AMD or new Intel CPUs that have been fixed. |
