- ComputerGuru 9y agoNo, that's not what I meant. In the past, Intel's microcode updates have simply disabled the broken functionality as an official solution. http://techreport.com/news/26911/errata-prompts-intel-to-disable-tsx-in-haswell-early-broadwell-cpus http://techreport.com/news/26911/errata-prompts-intel-to-dis...
- lorenzhs 9y agoYou specifically said the fix might be to permanently disable HT. The TSX situation was indeed unfortunate, I have one of the affected CPUs. But it was a new feature that was broken, not something that used to work, so the bug's impact was less serious, and disabling the feature didn't have too much of an impact.
