Benchmarking the i7 8700K pre and post update. Gaming seems to be unaffected, but 4k reading from SSD takes a 20-25% dive in speed.

Desktop user sin generla may not see too worrying differences, but for server centers, single effects could add up and accumulate to severe final end effects (performance drops).

For Intel, who already had AMD breathing down their neck last year, this is a nasty kick into their family jewels.
