Not true, it’s currently at 45,26 USD. June last year it was at 33,46 USD.
Similar on German stock exchanges.
Yep we have our windows 7 updates already. but not going to deploy them before next week. As we believe we have AV issues and that might require update first.
Heres with windows 8.x + 2012

Looks like some news outlets are putting them all in the same boat (as intel probably hoped for when they crafted their pr piece).
my company is about to patch our servers at weeks end.
We are expecting performance losses in from 5% in normal workloads, 30% in certain/flavors of SQL/database workloads. Worst fears are around Elastic for me.

The current ubuntu kernels should also get a security fix soon. the expection patch is not that complex. And it has been merged to older kernels than 4.16 as well.
Nice to know this. I run a E5-1660 and this kind of proves this processor could be one of the ones WITH PCID. So much misinformation is being spread about PCID it isn’t funny.
Remember, check CR4 Bit 17 for PCID support in your CPUID dumps. https://github.com/seporaitis/xv6-public/wiki/CPU-Registers-CR4

More benchmarks from Phoronix.
another fud piece that follows intels pr lead, seeing more and more of these.
Actual piece headline…
“Intel, AMD and ARM processors suffer ‘serious’ flaw that could allow hackers to access your passwords”
e.g lumping them all in the same boat as all equally as bad.
Knowing what we know now… I do agree that intels pr is a masterpiece as last thing they want is for data centres, end users to think amd cpus are more secure
solution to that?
“Everyone is just as bad!”
Main stream news media is taking that and running with it, completely ignoring the finer details… which means intels pr piece has done its job nicely
Yeah I posted that earlier when it had just hit the kml.
He’s not the only one.

what are the chances that Intel knowingly moved up the launch of its latest gen Xeons because they knew this was coming?
Yes.
Same goes for cannonlake. The September announcement for delayed 10nm designs due to production problems plays into that.

So this guy saying that 20 years of HARDWARE vurnelability for any hacking attempts or exploits is just nothing right? That Intels engineers fucked up seriously their work with one of the most principial things like securing memory domains and problem came to the surface only because some bunch of people tried things is just a “another tech mistake” right? And even calls others “sheeps” with that “i know everything” manner??
C’mon … !
Can anyone benchmark with a nVidia GPU and Intel CPU?
More importantly he says that the media is fear mongering, as usual and anyone should remember that. That’s the point he makes, which is why i linked it.
Even though i can’t prove it, i can promise that Intel knew about the “mistake/bug” long before anyone else.
Here is one example of a headline: Experts discover two huge mistakes in the world’s computers
the fuck happened ?
