FUCK INTEL

That should sum things up - Class Action anyone?

Huge Intel CPU Bug Allegedly Causes Kernel Memory Vulnerability With Up To 30% Performance Hit In Windows And Linux

If the reports are accurate, it appears that Intel might have a pretty severe chip-level security bug on its hands that cannot be simply swatted away with a microcode update. The bug affects all modern Intel processors dating back at least a decade.

We should note that squashing the bug requires a patch at the OS level; and Linux patches have already been distributed (with redacted comments). Microsoft is expected to address the bug in its monthly Patch Tuesday update. The circumstances surrounding the exploit are currently under embargo, but some details are starting to make their way to the public spotlight, thanks to reporting over at Python Sweetness and The Register

In a nutshell, the bug allows everyday programs to "illegally" access certain contents in protected kernel memory. The "fix", so to speak, is to implement Kernel Page Table Isolation (PTI), which, for all intents and purposes, makes the kernel invisible to running processes. In a perfect world, such training wheels shouldn't be needed to isolate the kernel, but software patches that are nearing release for Windows, Linux and macOS systems will address the exploit head-on.

Who cares?

Nobody wants to hack my shit anyway.

It's still faster than AMD

...

Literally everybody who wants money wants your data

Link to previous thread were a few anons and I went over the details

Go ahead. Kek. Have some of my precious data. What you gonna do with it bitch? Pay off my debt? Lol

>50% more threads
single core performance in i7 is killing ryzen in games

This is how (((they))) force windows 10 on everyone.

You'll be on quite a few lists.
As if games are everything, and it's only 1080p at that.

my 8700k clocked at 5.1 ghz outperforms any poozens anytime.

Wasn't it already known that the NSA put vulnerabilities on Intel CPUs?

Only 5.1? Or did you not delid?

>Not switching to the Ryzen Threadripper for half the price.
Well there is simply no hope for retards who want to throw money away.

>brainlet mentality
Do you let random people break down your door, wake you up, and ask you random personal questions too? Ever considered that you are the custodian of that information and it's not for others to profit from?

>You'll be on quite a few lists.
So? You get put on a list for buying a lettuce today. This threat loses its power when you use it to often.

>had to switch to an Intel gpu for Android emulation
>this comes out
Every fucking day it feels like just more bullshit.

You realise you are already part of a criminal botnet using your CPU to mine for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, right?

didnt delid the chip yet, clocking this one to 5.1 keeps the temp at ~28-33 when resting 33-45 when gaming

my computer has an i3, am i too old to continue living?

What's worrying with CPU bugs like this is that most servers are virtualized now. If you buy a virtual server on a cloud platform and can exploit a CPU vulnerability you can compromise the other virtual servers running on the same machine. And if you have a virtual server there you can't do much of anything to defend against it.
You could literally hack the planet with exploits like this nowadays.

inb4 this exploit was being used by the CIA and Trumps people reported it whitehat style when they finally got control of the CIA.

This.

Spread a rumor there is a bug or cause a bug on purpose. Then provide a fix in the real trojan you want to drop. Everyone will run and install it like little bitch.

>Up To 30% Performance Hit In Windows And Linux

Is this from the fix or the vulnerability?

Not 5.4-5.5? Then it's not faster than Ryzen after the new patch. 5.1=3.8ghz Ryzen

no its bait for soyim

The vulnerability has existed all along. The fix is what drags performance.

>says the retard that goes to a website that had recently had scripts running that turned your computer into a buttcoin miner

And it won't be faster than AMD. T H I R T Y P E R C E N T

I really wish this thread weren't as stupid as it is.

They are making i3's right now. The generation determines the age, not the model.

I want Intel to die. Terrible company doing everything they can to stay relevant

>patents most RISC emulations and conversions
>uses CISC, a terrible niggerrigged instruction set that is terribly confusing and outdated
>security leaks
>controls most of the server market

Intel is scum. They need to die out already. They have great CPUs but they’re forcing everyone to stay on the Complex instruction set, which is cancer to anyone who knows what that is. It’s decent in speed but is terrible in efficiency, optimizing, and learning. The ARM instruction set or RISC is much easier, more energy efficient, and a better architecture in general.

If you want to get technical the i3s they make aren't really i3s anymore. It's the Pentium lineup that has 2 cores.

So tell me what is the end game?
Are they gonna pull a MGS and stop people from saying the word Jew? La le lu lay lo
Are they gonna blackmail you? That is a bit of unwarranted self importance on your part. You are not a revolutionary you are a twat at a computer. You have nothing CIA/FBI/Jews want.
I just think it is time you slow down on the /x/ talk. Unless you are a jew infiltrator trying to keep the goyim scared of you.

My computers like ten years old or so.

I keep thinking i shoudl buy a new one, but then i think, why? it never had given me trouble and works great and fast and has never stopped me from doing anything wanted to do so ill keep her going.

>Nividia geforce 540m
>nividia optimus

Any of this shit badly obsolete tech dudes? i have no idea

fpwp

Explain further. Was the hardware bug planted to selectively make operating systems obsolete? Or are they repurposing a backdoor as a bug now to make OS obsolete?

>5
nah win10 will make it go slower
need to sue intel

explain

THIS FUCKING HARDWARE BUG GOES ALL THE WAY TO TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO IF NOT MORE
THEY WENT THE UNSECURED ROUTE SO THEY COULD HAVE FASTER PERFORMANCE
ONLY NOW DO THEY BOTHER TO FIX IT

The trojan should just be a disguised .exe that deletes system32

>Nividia geforce 540m
Umm well yes, but I guess it depends on what you do with your computer. The latest GPU is 40x faster than yours. That's not an exaggeration.

The patch is the psy-op. HH is a shill site.

this

Incidentally the vulnerability is in the RISC subsystem, which is why it can't be patched with a microcode update

I'm pretty sure Intel tried to move away from the x86 architecture. They spent billions on Itanium and it was one of the worst failures ever in the tech industry.

I do mostly browsing with some video editing and music production as a hobby. The odd game, but not much. Never had an issue once i do ill buy a new computer but it might as well be greek to me all this computing machine talk.

Pentium pro was the best cpu I ever had.

What is there to explain? This has been going on for years. Even normies are talking about it. Your computer gets infected with malware that re-purposes your CPU for completing bitcoin mining algorithms. This works through the principle of crowdsourcing. Typically these malware will behave in a subtle way so as to avoid detection, but they can become very effective if the botnet owner has control of 10'000s or 100'000s of computers.
Nowadays it is apparently increasingly common for many websites to contain malicious scripts that will instruct your CPU to work to solve the algorithms while you surf on them, without there actually being any malware on your PC.

I don’t think intel has that in their chips. I thought it was all emulation.

Anyways, it’s not a vulnerability in RISC, just the intel version, whatever it may be.

Wasn’t Itanium solely x64? 128-bit instructions? I forgot what the gimmick was but HP is pissed

The Pentium Pro was slow and overpriced. Motorola's G4 was faster and cheaper

Who hear Kaby Lake i7 CPU ?

Kaby Lake is only Skylake
Coffee Lake is only Skylake with more cores
Next gen is Skylake with more cores than that
Intel is going to be on 14nm until 2020

I'm still rocking Sandy Bridge

gonna be a class action

I already asked for a replacement, got a rebuilt, year warranty, puter less than a year

I'm going to ask intel to replace it too just in case


plus my old puter is almost 10
so they should replace that as well

I was about to build a new computer, should I stick go with an i7 7700k or go for a ryzen 1800x (for gaming).

7700K is outdated
1800X is the more expensive version of the 1700 for only a couple hundred MHz gain

Why isnt this in Sup Forums ?

Fucking slide thread

>tfw you've owned like 55-60 Intel CPUs in the last 10 years.

Will I be a mirrorn dorrer?

You will probably be able to pick up decent server hardware at firesale prices soon.

Id opt for Ryzen but I’ve been out of the game for a while. I hear great thing about threadripper

NOT politics. sage.

If the Russians knew about this hack, it means they didn't use fucking C2 malware on the DNC servers.

Ryzen arch is faster lol. Fuck Intel. Karma caught up to them for their shady compiler practices back in the late 2000's.

Hey guys I have an iMac G5 am I ok?

Ryzen doesn't have much to offer in games past the 1600
Ryzen 2 in a couple months should be a new story on 12nm and with higher clocks

Ryzen and thus threadripper and eypc has on the fly memory encryption, much better than Intel's shit
which makes me ponder on how fast their shit would be if it were as unsecured as Intel

half the performance

This how about a mac mini g4?

Is having AIDS OK?
(G4 was the shit)

how about you nigger it yourselves faggots
google is right there

Test

but im a brainlet and i dont know that much about computers i just want to shitpost and look at my coinbase and bank account every once in a while. what should i look for in google?

ryzen is not faster than even 4th gen intel, sweetie

theres a reason they glue 16 cores to it

Cool im not banned anymore. It was my armpit you stupid niggers! Not a baby pussy! I was trolling! And that was my dick not my nephews dick, i just have a small dick that looks like a babys but im 28

did a thread about current events disrupt your amerimutt posting or your favorite LARP or something?

quads o troof

Probably 0-30% faster

This. Units of work can be done by your browser in the background while you fap to bbw trap porn. Don't like it? Disable Script execution but prepare for a broken web.

WE

how do i not consent, black nigger? and also answer my question i have a powerpc am i SAFE???

The performance hit is fake news, it was spread on a bunch of sites with no source to create click bait.

Already contacted my lawyer

WUZ

nevermind you answered my consent queston. ANSWER THE POWERPC QUESTION!

I dont give a shit. Im happy with my i5 7600k with my 1080. Kill yourself

>powerpc
That's IBM, so you're safe

>ITT: butthurt intel fanbois
lel stay mad

THANK YOU

>i-it's just fake news!
the absolute state of intel fanboys

WOW so that means I can do whatever I want on it and the (((((((((((((cia,nsa,whatever))))))))))))) cannot do shit? they cant hack me? FUUUUUCK

If the performance hit was fake news the autists working on the linux kernel wouldn't have come up with a fix in the first place.

no, it means you're vulnerable to other shit, just not this big stinking shit from Intel

Ryzen is a failure.

NICE STICKER

I CAN PLAY SIM CITY 4 ON IT BUT IT IS VERY SLOW WHEN I GET A LARGE POPULATION ETC. WHAT AM I VULNERABLE TO, THEN? INB4 GOOGLE IT

Does anyone still use intel chips? I think the last machine I had with an intel chip in it ran windows 98.

>t. janitor at an Intel warehouse

OH, AND HOW ABOUT PIC RELATED? AM IN INB4 THE SHITSTORM OF INTELS OR DID I MAKE THE CUT FOR THE SHITSTORM BACKDOOR HACK?

Windows 10 can never complete the updates anyway so we've got nothing to worry about.
