So as a somewhat unconcerned user, I've been disabling some kernel mitigation since more or less when these horrors were first revealed, and when I could remember/be bothered after a kernel upgrade.
But I'm on an AMD CPU not intel.
I'm very curious to hear what knowledgeable folks here could tell me about performance gains on AMD (1950x) from these or any other similar switches.
- vorticalbox 7y agoI believe they only apply to intel
- nsuser3 7y agoSome mitigations also apply to AMD CPUs.
- hrgiger 7y agoHere is my geekbench results: before: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/381062 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/381062 another before: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/381122 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/381122 after with mitigations off: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/381082 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/381082 I believe there is almost no difference (unless my bios hardened something like this that I am not aware off: https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1035323/ https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1035323/) If one needs those extra ~200 point I think he might already ensured that no extra app running and he is using cpu isolation
- ttctciyf 7y agoThanks, knowledgeable folk person! Was beginning to think you wouldn't show up ;)
