Yet another Intel CPU security vulnerability!

That's ok, Intel can just clock it to 45.0Ghz....

In all seriousness, I can't imagine a patch needed that will kill performance by 90%, that would essential make Intel irrelevant and unable to compete unless everyone went out and bought new chips assuming the new gen will be immune from this flaw.

As i understand it this is unique to one form of Googles code.
 
So a 4.5GHz CPU would be running at around 450Mhz equivalent?

Your maths are off. If you read the article and original post of the application

So is 319.5Mhz not 450Mhz. :D

Intel going to need to cut its prices by 90% for all these patches

Easy, just multiply the prices by 0.071 so the 10900K should sell for £38.34 including vat :P

Is not that bad.... do not exaggerate the numbers... the correct speed to get the performance back should be 41.8Ghz not 45Ghz. :D
And no we wouldn't need a nuclear power station to power those CPUs. A gas power station will be enough, for each household using Intel CPU :rolleyes:


See above is worse :P

Even at £38.34.......................i bet Intel would still be making a small profit. Probably even more of a margin than most local shopkeepers make.
 
Gotta love journalists who go for sensation.

For the past two years, modern CPUs—particularly those made by Intel—have been under siege by an unending series of attacks that make it possible for highly skilled attackers to pluck passwords, encryption keys

There is no doubt for whatever reason people are really wanting to find vulnerabilities in intel chips right now, but again attacks on them? hardly unending, they almost zero due to not been practical.
