Maybe this is what finally gets me to upgrade from my ~2012 i7-3770. Not because of performance improvements, but to avoid performance degradation from all these security patches...
- shittyadmin 8y agoI'm not so sure I'd bother, more of these attacks keep coming out, odds are you'll just buy a CPU that'll be vulnerable to the next one. Maybe AMD would save you from some.
- mentalpiracy 8y agoI'm in this exact scenario. I am thinking I might just go with AMD this time around, even if it is mostly an illusory short-term strength over Intel. In the long run I will undoubtedly have to refresh my hardware as new exploits come out, but at least I can take solace in the fact that I'm only worried about a single machine and not a datacenter.
- kleim 8y agoI feel the same, maybe I will switch to AMD next time I upgrade. On the other end, I am happy with my budget dedicated server: its Intel Atom N2800 is so "rustic" that it did not get affected by any of Intel vulns (yet).
