One theory is that the new xeon comes with no HT to keep the power draw under 300W, which is why the footnotes mention no HT/SMT in test configuration... This would also "fix" a lot of side channel attacks without new silicon

4 word summary: great but too expensive

I disagree. Vast majority of buyers and sadly huge chunk of tech press won't be able to tell looking at the settings if our how much was benchmark skewed in Intel's favor. And it plenty skewed.

Game mode was added for threadripper (workstation cpu) which has multiple dies - many games were hit heavily by numa. It's also available for desktop parts to disable one ccx when game doesn't use more than 8 threads and you want

Also they seem to have tested AMD CPUs in "game mode" which disabled half of the cores (one of two CCXes)...

And if you want to go up $100-200 more buys you a threadripper 1950, which is 16 core 32 thread, has twice the memory channels and more than twice the pcie lanes... Edit for clarification: 100-200 over 9900k price

Because it's not free. Communication between cores in different CCXes (and memory access - there is a single memory controller per CCX) has slightly higher latency than within a single CCX (or a monolithic CPU, but here Intel's ad

Or just keep using AMD CPUs, because yet again they are unaffected https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/security-updates

AMD has manufacturing cost advantage - CPUs are built from 4- core CCXes that can be binned separately. Intel on the other hand needs to manufacture a monolithic CPU that not only is fault free in enough cores, but performs well. That'

Even a small sailboat will need to do 3 turns and position itself against the wind when approaching person in water. That takes long enough for someone who can't swim to drown even under perfect weather conditions.

I'm not aware of a way to plug your own crypto to a lot of things that are part of standard library and I'm not aware of a way to plug your own math library to existing crypto.

Would that act cover things like targeting health insurance ads based on genetic traits? How about displaying recruitment ads to people with lactose tolerance gene, effectively excluding most of worlds non-white population?
