>more popular hardware gets more security breaches
I bet you're the kind of retard who thinks Apple is more secure than Windows.
Adrian Ortiz
funny that you mentioned out of nowhere for this new security vulnerability
support.apple.com
it's like you walked right into that? or are you reverse shilling?
Samuel Barnes
Security through obscurity is a real thing, you know. The more popular your hardware is, the more effort you have to put into security.

>design flaws
vs
>(talented) and honest to god real hackers doing their thing.
one is unlike the other.
Julian Lewis
They guys who test the flaws in their CPUs only have Intel CPUs so that's why basically. In universities and private security companies Ryzen doesn't exist so they cant test it. Just look at spoiler for example, they only had a piledriver CPU to test while testing 10 Intel CPUs.

>he thinks intel didn't spend more time the last 6 months every cpu has ever made trying to make this """"new"""" vulnerability also stick on anything AMD has ever made rather than patching up their own stuff.
believe me, if this anything like spectre or meltdown we'd know all about it.

Apparently Intel attempted to play down the issue by trying to award the researchers with the 40,000 dollar tier reward and a separate 80,000 dollar reward as a "gift" (which the researchers kindly denied) instead of the maximum 100,000 reward for finding a critical vulnerability.
Intel was also planning to wait for at least another 6 months before bringing this to light if it wasn't for the researchers threatening to release the details in May.

Who cares, all i play is games why does this matter to me?
Josiah Collins
because:
it runs in user mode.
it affects your gaming experience because after the patches you'll still need to disable the hyperthreading (up to and below intel's 7th gen, aka kaby lake (7700k)), definitely affecting your overall performance. This isn't either or, it's meant to be both for a full mitigation.

>1. ZombieLoad allows to leak information from other applications, the operating system, virtual machines in the cloud and trusted execution environments.
>2. RIDL allows unprivileged code (such as in a shared cloud environment or JavaScript on a browser) to steal data from other programs across any security boundary: other applications, the kernel, other VMs (e.g. in the cloud), or even secure (SGX) enclaves.
>3. Fallout demonstrates that attackers can leak data from Store Buffers, which are used every time a CPU pipeline needs to store any data. Making things worse, an unprivileged attacker can then later pick which data they leak from the CPU's Store Buffer. Ironically, the recent hardware countermeasures introduced by Intel in recent Coffee Lake Refresh i9 CPUs to prevent Meltdown make them more vulnerable to Fallout, compared to older generation hardware.

>amd shills back at it
spectre/meltdown proved to be nothing. the researchers who found these vulnerabilities literally said its completely resolved by microcode updates.
don’t sell your good intel cpus for inferior amd ones
Angel Clark
William Ward
So its 40% for this and 40% for Spectre,you might as well use a Pentium 4 at this point.
Easton Ward
damn, all of this intel shills walking right into it
see: and on such a nice timing too

When security researchers disclosed a series of major vulnerabilities impacting Intel processors back in January 2018, it was clear that “Meltdown” and “Spectre” were indeed serious — and wouldn’t be the only exploits of multi-threading chips. Now a new Intel chip vulnerability nicknamed “ZombieLoad” has been revealed to the public, and though it’s already being patched by three major operating system makers, there’s some bad news: full protection could reduce your CPU’s performance by up to 40%.
Angel Anderson
AMD still makes the worst CPUs on the market, nobody's going to fall for your shill tricks.
Adrian Williams
This is what happens when your hire minorities
Aaron Watson
i remember the 30% performance hit i was supposed to take with spectre, it went to 20% then 10% and finally r/amd settled on 10%. guess what happened? nothing, i lost 1-3 fps after 3 bios updates.
Jonathan Stewart
cautionary reminder that these totally not paid by anyone anons are quite literally saying:
nothing to see here Yea Forums, move along. THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE, SHUT IT DOWN, NAO.
Ryan Parker
1-3 FPS on what you stupid shill,i only use PC for emulation so stuff like this could give me trouble if i decided to update.
William Gutierrez
r/amd getting ready for another failed ryzen launched.
1-3 fps in games you simpleton, it’s not going to affect you
Luis Smith
enjoy you're 4 cores. at least you can try to bump it up to 5.1ghz for just another 150w now. ^^
Jaxon Hughes
my 4 year old 6700k is better than your latest amd trash.
Jonathan Foster
if you think this the only vulnerability intel disclosed following after spectre and meltdown you're very malinformed. This shit is piling up man. There are 1 year worth of patches slowly eating your fps away, 1 by 1. Not to mention hyperthreading is quite important for games.
Xavier Ross
okay, but my bank account, my logins and my passwords aren't for sale for a fraction of cent on the deepweb.
Lucas Hall
My i5 9400F doesn't have this problem.
Cameron Lee
Imagine buying Intel in this day and age. They haven't been worth buying since fucking sandy bridge.
I mean, AMD weren't worth buying from Faildozer until Ryzen came along, but my point stands.
Dominic Lee
>download microcode update put out today
>literally fixed
lmao
Hudson Ramirez
Sort of related, but is the 9400 good?
Was planning on upgrading my i3 8100.
Cooper Thompson
It's bretty gud, the only game I've had issue with was Assassins Creed Odyssey, but that's just because Ubisoft trash runs like hot garbage, I've heard it has FPS dips even on an 8700k.
