Seems like variations of these bugs are going to wipe out past 10 years of CPU performance advancements... As security research tooling gets more advanced, it can possibly touch even more intrinsic areas of computation, leading to orders of magnitude slowdowns in exchange for minuscule increases in security - when is security finally good enough?
- 51lver 8y agoIntel has done nothing it can stand behind since the pentium 3. That chip was amazing. They had to dead end P4 development and go back to a P3 base to develop core. Now I betcha they will now have to dead end core and go back to P3 again. It could be competitive with a die shrink, clock boost (3.5Ghz P3? drooool), a newer instruction set (I'm sure it's fast enough to decode, and intel is good at adding accelerators), and then running a ton of them on a single socket like AMD is doing. Maybe pair it with some optane for instant boot or some gimick. It'd sell.
