All their security fixes are. My 2 year old laptop feels noticeably slower in day-to-day usage now. I haven't tested it, but I would bet a small sum of money that it would go back to its original 2-year-ago performance with mitigations=off specified to Linux.
If I can't undervolt anymore, then my laptop will be unable to run the CPU at 100% without thermal throttling. Not Intel's fault that Dell used a shitty cooling system and a too-high default voltage, but it's yet another penalty that I have to take because Intel failed.
- undersuit 7y agoIntel is playing a dangerous game if you ask me. AMD lost a class action lawsuit because someone was disappointed in the performance of an AMD chip even though all the performance metrics were available for them to research[1]. Intel is still selling hyper-threaded processors. You cannot buy an Intel laptop that isn't pre-configured to be vulnerable to Zombieload[2], unless you find one of the 4 obscure Intel chips like the Core i5-8500B Processor in a laptop [1] https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/8/28/20837336/amd-12-million-false-advertising-class-action-lawsuit-bulldozer-chips https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/8/28/20837336/a...
