Its a flaw that Intel cannot cure and that must be tackled by redoing the Kernel at its very lowest, most fundamental level, apart of it that usually gets acitvely hidden from all woreking software and incoming traffic, since it is most sensitive. The articles describe why this issue is so dangerous.

The fixes, if they will be fixes indeed, need to be distributed via security updates, most likely, for Windows and Linux. And Microsoft has a well documented, empirically well established reputation of - since being "turned into a service" - enforcing consumers and company customers alike to swallow many ill-designed, broken, misfunctioning "patches" that you can delay for 30 days in some higher W10 versions, but cannot avoid . Your computer is owned by Microsoft. They do not ask you anymore.

From some time on, you must pick it up and suffer from it - even if you know and there is verified documentation of that the given piece of "patch" damages your machine, your work flow, your company productivity. The past two years have been over and over full of such events. That is the bad truth about the new enforced cumulative patching policy by Microsoft. Its a mess.

And thats why I call them out over this.

The speed losses in testing of the Kernel fixes so far have shown to be in the range of 5-30%. Newer chips seem to be less heavily effected and get away with lesser speed losses, but losses nevertheless.

Like it or not, guys, but if in the near future you are one of those noticing performance losses on your Intel-machines or Apple computers using intel chips, you now know why that is so, and whom to thank for it. It'S Intel's fault, and Microsofts, Linux and Apples varying remedies, since Intel cannot fix this: its a fundamental design flaw.

AMD users seem to be safe from this mess.

Trust in all this blindly, Catfish and Dwoly, trust in all this blindly. "Digital" always and automatically means "better". Unconditionally. And you look so cool and are so much "in" with being digital, the girls and your clique love it.
