Let's be naïve: "not doing something" is indeed, on a literal level, different from "doing something to slow it down". It's a bit like the nuances of a lie by omission vs a proper lie. That being said... both are still considered lies in a more abstract sense, and so is this deliberate slowdown. I assume the author just took it all a little more literal than most people (probably?) deem necessary.
- Dylan16807 4y agoI would say "not doing something" is an incorrect description of what it did, though. They had to write extra code to make the behavior on Intel and AMD differ.
