Isn't the reason that technically the CPU is still fast and it is the OS (that is outside Intel's control) that slows it down? And AFAIK all OSes can disable these mitigations (are they even a concern for personal computers, especially for cases like gaming?) so if you really want you can get your performance back.
- ajsnigrutin 7y agoIf you look at it this way, then the computer manufactures are to blame, and you should be refunded by them. That's the same as buying a car from CarCompany(TM) with an A/C and a Android Car touchscreen interface/radio/..., and an automatic android updates disables your A/C and changes the engine paramters so you have 20hp less... wouln't you expect "them" to fix it? As a consumer, you shouldn't have to worry if it's googles fault or CarCompanies(TM) fault, you should be able to take it to the dealer and have them fix it or give you a refund, or atleat 'do something'?
- Crinus 7y agoI'm not sure i follow the reasoning nor the example you gave. You can change and/or update the OS, both being outside of the computer manufacturer's control and that is assuming there was even a computer manufacturer and wasn't a desktop PC you built yourself (are you going to blame yourself for allowing Windows to install updates that slow down the CPU?).
