>If taking a look at the geometric mean across the dozens of benchmarks carried out, both the Core i5 8400 and i5 9400F basically have around 18% lower performance from these default/out-of-the-box mitigations on Linux systems for Meltdown, Spectre, L1TF/Foreshadow, and MDS/Zombieload. >18% lower performance >18%
Thats probably around Ivy Bridge / Haswell tier performance. In 2019. Intel BTFO.
Literally doesn't matter. Majority of people won't even need to apply these patches. Who the fuck will even bother to hack you pathetic neets? Oh no, muh patches! Boo fucking hoo. Intel+nvidia is still at the top. Amd will be bankrupt within a few years. There's a reason google chose intel+nvidia for stadia. There's a reason why the newest mac has intel+nvidia. amd is utter shit. Cope harder.

Huh? Isnt Stadia using AMD GPU?
Justin Flores
yes both of what mentioned uses AMD GPUs. dont fall for low quality bait like this

I don't need these patches because I don't keep information on my computer. It's why I don't even like password managers.
HOWEVER, did you consider the hundreds of millions of data centers who have to keep top secret information on their servers? People who don't have the luxury of keeping passwords on a notepad, or have to constantly perform bank transactions? They're gonna be hit the hardest by this, and the effects are cumulative, if not multiplicative. Imagine a server just barely at capacity with like 100 intel chips. Now imagine losing 40% of that performance. You're essentially down to 60 intel chips' worth of power. You think that's gonna make anyone happy?
Intel will probably bribe a few people and pretend this never happened, but the wonderful thing is that they keep screwing up, so they don't have the excuse of it being a single isolated incident.
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f (note the inspectre gui tool sets the same keys)

Doubt it is as high as 18% especially for haswell. Ivy lack INVPCID so it suffers more on Meltdown patch, but Haswell has it. Newer Skylake and above cannot use retpoline alone in Windows/Linux and requires IBPB as well. On older systems retpoline alone is enough.
>It shows that the 9400F can come in 2 flavours, a Intel64 Family 6 Model 158 Stepping 12 and a Intel64 Family 6 Model 158 Stepping 13, where the "Model 12" doesn't have the hardware mitigations in the same fashion as Cascade Lake has, but the "Model 13" does have full H/W mitigations.
I thought Sandy Bridge was like a 20-30% jump over Nehalem. Current CPUs would go back to around Haswell, but Haswell wouldn't go back to before Sandy Bridge.

Probably? It's a flaw in the processor, OS is irrelevant.

Any word on Mac impact? I'm trying to convince my boss to get a Windows box or even a Ryzen Hackintosh instead of a new 2018 iMac/Mac Mini.
Camden Moore
There is a single switch for that, retard.
Gavin Davis
It's a problem with CPU, not OS.
Dominic Bennett
Imagine cucking your pc to a planned obsolescence manufactured 'flaws' to make up for no improvement in the cpu market for a decade Lol absolute state of u
Isaac James
Lol intel is rekt
Samuel Anderson
If I were to buy one of these chips how would I turn off the security patches?
Intel have suckered a load of their customers who were expecting hi-spec chips fast horses and got sold slow-tier chip lame mules. And vandalized their customers computers with patches.
Why aren't Intel being sued off the Earth by class actions. Or facing mass refunds for turning their own customers into victims?
Weird that the Jews aren't doing a shady smear campaign like they did years ago when spectre was fresh. Anybody remembers that? This seems bigger and yet they are quiet.
The only silent Jew You could trust is one that's been gassed.

I also have an i5 2400. How fucked are we, bro? My Debian install has been getting slow as shit lately. Thinking about taking the risks disabling all the patches in GRUB. My PC is like 10% faster compiling software when I used "nopti".
System startup time is worse now, went from roughly 20-30 seconds to almost one minute, other programs also take a bit longer to open, my SSD is fucking crippled
Cameron Rivera
Holy fuck the comments on that article are an even better read.
>Intel knew they'd need to respin these CPUs. But they didn't change the SKU, so the name is the same. No bulk retailer is likely to tell you what stepping they're offering. You have to have the CPU in your hands to know how the mitigations are implemented, and the resulting performance.

>You have to have the CPU in your hands to know how the mitigations are implemented Big OOF
Caleb Russell
What if Intel really abandons desktop CPUs
Owen Turner
Imagine how I feel with an Ivy Bridge. Never buying Intel again.
Noah Gray
Then be ready to spend $500 for an entry level Ryzen.
Brayden Rogers
AMD are gonna take a dump on their server space as well
Intel don’t have consoles, don’t have desktops and soon won’t have servers
