This needs some attention, would highly recommend everyone install the latest Windows patches, and if you can, find the dedicated Microcode updates from Intel.
Yet another serious flaw in Intel chips, and the patches will again have a negative impact on performance, currently estimated around 3% for normal windows users, up to 9% for datacenters and virtualised instances.
In itself, it doesn't seem that bad, but factor in Spectre and Meltdown patches, and we're looking at performance loss over 20%.
This is totally unacceptable.
I won't be buying Intel again until they address these flaws at the hardware level. Remember, even 9th Gen still doesn't patch the Spectre/Meltdown vulnerabilities, they've not done any redesign to mitigate those flaws.
Totally unacceptable imho.
