Compare what you can get today: an Intel CPU without a hyperthreading problem (fixed in a microcode update months back) or an AMD CPU with a hyperthreading problem (being investigated by AMD for 3 months).
Edit: thanks, s/unacknowledged/being investigated/
- vvanders 9y agoIf I remember the story right it took Intel ~8months to accept that it was an issue and fix it.
- ivank 9y agoWould you buy a pile of Ryzen CPUs under the assumption that AMD will be able to fix it properly with an update (without e.g. disabling HT or making performance worse as they did for their TLB fix in 2007)? If they take another 2 months, you're out on your return window.
- blattimwind 9y agoThat bug was acknowledged a while ago.
- dis-sys 9y agoto be fair, that Intel hyperthreading issue took Intel 5 months to investigate and fix.
