Intel critical flaw identified in hyperthreading: 6 & 7th gen CPUs
I bet this is the fault of that anitesemite known as Jim Keller
...
>b-b-but gnu/linux is best operating system?!?!?!
>every single 6th and 7th gen Intel CPU is now useless when it has HT enabled

Poo2Loo my street shitting friend
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I DO HAVE SUCH PROCESSORS?
----------------------------------------------
Kaby Lake:
Users of systems with Intel Kaby Lake processors should immediately
*disable* hyper-threading in the BIOS/UEFI configuration. Please
consult your computer/motherboard's manual for instructions, or maybe
contact your system vendor's support line.

good my sir thank you sirs

Read nigga read
>Errata immediately fixed by microcode update
>yet, ayymd shills immediately start shitting Sup Forums with bullshit posts
kill yourselves
why is it so comfy to have an i5
everything just works better without hyperthreading
like half the things i run into with issues are like "users report that turning off hyperthreading helps"
my i5 has been comfy
though i might go to ryzen for better resource allocation with virtualization
>so mad that anyone who disagrees is from India
it's more comfy to not be a corelet and have a r5 1600
This should had never happened, how do they even fuck up shit when there's barely any changes since Sandy Bridge?
This is the direct result of Brian "I fuck shit up" firing the validation teams, the amount of erratas Intel has made in the last 3 years it's ridiculous, and most of them end up with no fix or straight up disabling features, like TSX instructions were disabled on some CPUs
Finally it pays off to use 5+ year old computers.
this. i wont even buy a new computer. both my x220 and imac are from the same year.
Shouldn't this trigger a recall? Or does that not happen in the cpu world?
Intel has always tried their best to avoid recalls, the worse they have gone were refunds during the Pentium FP bug
But user
They can just patch it later :^)
Loading microcode alongside your initramfs is no biggie.
Yes, you clearly know anything about producing and testing CPUs with transistors bigger than your dick (14nm)
There's no major architecture changes, the only reason this happened it's because they fired the validation teams to compete with muh ARM chinkshit, there's would be zero extra load on the validation teams if they were still there
they didn't fire anyone, you stupid retard.
They just announced they will not focus so much on testing their CPUs in every single application. By the way who gives a fuck about linux.
>they didn't fire anyone, you stupid retard.
Yes they did, in fact they been firing hundreds of people

>They just announced they will not focus so much on testing their CPUs in every single application.
No, they said they wouldn't test their products to shorten release cycles, it already fucked SoC buyers who went with Atoms

>By the way who gives a fuck about linux.
This isn't a Linux bug, it's a bug that affects everything out there
So you're retarded and have no idea of what the thread it's about, just fuck off dumb Sup Forumsedditor
dumb ayymd shitposter
>street shitter it's mad that he won't get paid, now resorts to the stale meme folders in a last attempt! Sad!
You should drop your Intel job and go shill for Nvidia or Samsung
stupid amd shitposter
get back to
Nice projecting, stay mad
>mfw AMD user
gtfo, now
...
...
Enjoy your.. enjoy yourr.. fuck you fucking poorfag
Why are you so mad? Dumb Are you getting paid?
>have like 2nd gen i7 in my aging thinkpad
>have no issues because I don't do heavy gaming or render animations in 4k
DELETE
are you being paid to shill for ayymd?
Shill what? Stating the facts that Intel is fucking up their entire lineup of products it's shilling for AMD?
Hell, AMD doesn't even compete in half the market that Intel competes in, there's plenty of other companies competing with Intel like Qualcomm, Broadcom and even Atheros and nowadays even Xilinx
>being this retarded
it was pointed out multiple times it's already fixed via microcode. you can shitpost as much as you can, but you won't change the fact tat there is no problem with HT in these cpus.
unfollowed
we had an agreement that you wouldn't post this until after we speak with oems directly
Can someone give my the rundown?
>mfw didn't switch boat soon enough
Kys, retard.
Some Industrial customers with VM's running concurrent compiles of a specific version of Ocaml ran into a segfault. Basically there is some bytecode that when ran in parallel will will sometimes crash.
Pretty much will never affect anyone on Sup Forums and the only way you would hit the bug is deliberately trying to reproduce it.
it's an extra feature that you can heat a kettle for tea with your genuine intel product now. brits are all over this shit.
>just because I don't do it no one would ever do it
Holy shit, there I was, literally been learning OCaml since I got my ryzen build. Sheesh,
>calling laying people off firing
Your sentence pisses me off so much. There is no way you are white.
Fucking racist
especially when you think about shit like the intel management engine
>your processor is now dangerous!!! disable byberbreading!!!1
but it's been fine for the last year despite the faulty microcode, the only difference is a patch now exists
if you weren't already experiencing this error why do people think you'll start now?
I added the comment about skin color just because I was curious if you were actually a white person speaking in ebonics.
I'm relatively sure you aren't and my stereotypes have been re-enforced yet again, you are a credit to your race.
Wtf, I thought I filtered that trip queer.
Im a different guy you racist
Pitfalls of banter with Anonymous.
The entire string of comments has now lost any coherency for me, thanks ass.
>i was only pretending to be a nigger
...
Thanks
To be fair amd fucked up in the past as well, but it was much harder to reproduce (see dragonfly bsd amd bug)
>All whites speak English as a native language
This is what ameritards think
I use an i5 7500 for games and mobile app dev, will this effect me? It's too early and I'm too lazy to sift through this crap.
If you update (and in the case of *nix install nonfree Intel microcode) you should be ok
I use a separate older laptop for my *nix dev, run Windows on my i5 7500, post on reddit says it's probably already been fixed in my case, anything I need to do?
>m-muh raycism
you're new here, aren't you?
don't let those trolls get to you, sweetie
Is this something that would be updated automatically on Windows with an i7 6700k, or would it require user action?
>mfw I'm still on Ivy Bridge
mobile ivy bridges are best mobile cpus on the market
DELET. PLS
Intel fanbois on suicide watch.

thanks, jews
what about power consumption, and gpu and ram speed?
see pic
>inb4 intel disables hyperthreading
DISABLE DIS
So all the server CPUs have been calculating nonsense, huh?
