Hmm. Since everyone that sells (Intel) CPU cycles for a living suffers the same loss of supply this boils down to pricing; the same demand chasing fewer cycles

Hmm. Since everyone that sells (Intel) CPU cycles for a living suffers the same loss of supply this boils down to pricing; the same demand chasing fewer cycles will drive up prices and the market will adapt.
30% is a big hit. I'm wondering if that isn't a bit exaggerated, or perhaps the consequence of a poorly optimized workarounds that will rapidly improve. I recall seeing figures on the order of 3% only a few days ago.
- btilly 9y ago30% is a worst case for a workload optimized to hit the performance bug as hard as possible. How big it will be for your workload is a function of what your workload is. Benchmark if it is important to you.

- earenndil 9y ago50%, rather, is the worst case scenario. 30% is a bad case scenario, and 5% best-case scenario. Which is still a lot for large cloud providers like amazon, google, microsoft.
- dx034 9y agoAny public information on how someone like Google or Facebook handle this? Do they have enough spare capacity to patch or will they need to build further capacity first? I could imagine 10% of Google's capacity (internal services, not Google Cloud) is at least a large datacentre.
- earenndil 9y agoI know someone who works for amazon and he said that they didn't need to do anything or buy any more servers.
