Worst case I see is approximately 33% performance penalty in aggregate for Xeon parts, with much worse performance in specific scenarios. Comparing the original Bulldozer benchmarks, this does close the gap like GP suggested.
Also, refresh your memory on how the mitigations work because there’s definitely an impact for most programs.
