What about for the newer processors like the 9980XE, 9900K, etc.? I would have assumed that Intel's latest processors have some additional engineering in place

What about for the newer processors like the 9980XE, 9900K, etc.? I would have assumed that Intel's latest processors have some additional engineering in place to mitigate the spectre/meltdown performance impacts.

- kllrnohj 7y ago> What about for the newer processors like the 9980XE The 9980XE is Skylake. It's not actually a "new" processor at all. Consumer parts were released in 2015 (Core ix-6xxx) & server parts in 2015 as well (Xeon E3-v5). In fact the 9980XE itself isn't even a new offering in the HEDT space for Intel, as it's basically a rebrand of the 7980XE. The differences are just a soldered heat-spreader instead of paste & a small clock bump to go along with that. It's +200mhz turbo & +400mhz base, complete with a power consumption increase to match. EDIT: The 9900K (Coffee Lake) does have in-silicon mitigations for Meltdown & L1TF (Foreshadow), though: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13450/intels-new-core-and-xeon-w-processors-fixes-for-spectre-meltdown https://www.anandtech.com/show/13450/intels-new-core-and-xeo...
