AMD has their own exploits they need to worry about

Still, this is a clear case of Insider Trading, which is illegal. I smell lawsuits up the fucking ass

Let it all burn.

I'm tired of these rich faggots always getting away with their crimes. Hopefully justice catches up to him this time.

i think nsa should just fuck up intel company, take a fuck load of money and use some money taken from intel and use it to have their guys patch it and distribute it for free

>rich faggots
Jews.

You can't patch this vulnerability. It's in the hardware.

Not him, but couldn't one possibly patch this on a UEFI-level? Would that make any major difference vs OS-level?

They won't let anything happen to obedient goyim.

Bourgeoisie Jews

You'll be surprised how much "Bourgeoisie" jews exist.

This is VIA's big chance to make it back into the western market, even if its just low end laptop crap.


I want to believe in raptor, but they're making it really hard.

IBM has not yet released the POWER9 CPU to the general public yet raptor has to wait for IBM to release them.
Also since when google knows the intel cpu problem ?
siliconangle.com/blog/2016/04/07/in-blow-to-intels-data-center-reign-google-endorses-ibms-power-chips/

IBM still makes microchip-hardware?

red hat has already patched that
access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:0007

got my rpms, worked perfectly fine

like?

fun times ahead.

(((redhat)))

I was about to buy an amd computer, now I think I'll switch to intél

...

Redhat is cianiggers ofcourse they already knew about it and had priot knowledge from jewtel.

Don't get x86 CPUs from them.

it's no fix it's mitigation
It also fix only half of it the other half is impossible to patch.

...

yes, but you can prevent some things so that exploit could not be run on system

The second it gets code execution it is over though. You would need perfect software security to achieve that.

...

checked

Why wouldn't they ?
They just concentrated on specific branches of the market instead of the average user market like intel.

I thought they just made shit using other companies microprocessors.

That's what AMD those silly.
AMD sold there manufacturing plants long ago.
To be honest IBM made their CPU via Global foundries until 2015 now they do it themselves.

one bougie gentile disproves your entire worldview, but you are too retarded to see what is right in front of your face.

Finally made the decision to install uMatrix and set it up to allow only CSS and images by default, because these news triggered me.
Browsing with uMatrix is a lot better, it's really nice extension. Should be in every browser tbh.

is there any way possible to configure a router to block its connection or would that just block the whole connection? like say have your router block all botnet servers. i dont know much about networking and routers, my skill are more like bring pcs back from the dead...well the people that have handed me it thought it was dead so i just go along with it and i cant have them pay me cause i feel its kinda like getting out of your car to help a person fix a flat tire and that person knows nothing about cars and when your done you tell him to give you money...i cant/wont do that shit to anyone.

You are getting into real security territory pajeet, lurk two years and you might figure it out.

or you could be a good user and just post a link that explains or explain yourself...

Fuck you.

what about a good router made for exactly intel and some how loop back the info to strip away the "bugs"{if you wanna call it that}?

nigger

This was not me who told you to lurk. But have some infos. Idealistically you could trust the software on the router, but you can't. So your router needs to act like a physical one way gate instead. Like a switch you can toggle on and off, but for data instead. You want to be able to request data at one point, and recieve it at another in a one way stream that is enforced at the hardware level. Look for ways or routers/hardware that enforce data transfers to be one way at the hardware level for a start. No more spoonfeeding, lurk now.

lol do you have any idea what you are talking about

You can patch it with a microcode update to simply disable the hardware and work with Microsoft Apple and the Linux community to make modifications at the OS level to not try and use that hardware, which is the option they are going with from what I understand.

both me, does that answer your question?


___

posting a link isnt spoonfeeding, after all this is Holla Forums or am i on the wrong board, but thanks for the bits of info....

yes, you are on the wrong board. try a different imageboard entirely, in fact.

You can't patch away the memory management unit MMU you gigantic faggot. It literally maps the memory of every device on the system. Without that you would have to manually specify the memory ranges in the program/kernel for every single type and variation of hardware out there. Including on hardware changes such as plugging in a USB drive or some such shit.

You might as well invent a new computing architecture while you are at it, seriously that is what is needed at this point.

i got nothing else to use fags! come at me!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectre_(security_vulnerability)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltdown_(security_vulnerability)
Both are to do with branching and out-of-order execution logic, therefore it can be most likely patched with a microcode update and kernel modifications at the expense of system performance.

So rouge Javascript can only read all of user space memory and not kernel and user space memory? Preordering right now

it won't be able to run that javascript with good enough performance anyway. you'll be waiting forever for pages to load.

...

Not a problem it can be patched via a firmware upgrade to the contrary of intel.

Not possible. You can't update your microcode without a signed binary. Tell me how you got it.

Javascript already does that with all devices. You shouldn't use Javascript in the first place, aspie.

To the contrary of intel, power can upgrade it's firmware (no mandatory signature from IBM asked).

Everyone here is LARPing

prove it then

Read the spectre pdf
Part of it can be fixed with instructions upgrade (yes power can do that) but if IBM implemented branch prediction and speculative execution to maximize performance they are likely affected has well.


not the user you responded too
-spectre pdf

note:
I don't think that power is affected (But that's just speculation) tho since:
-it can be upgraded by anyone
-the architecture is very different
-google dumped intel in 2015 (and google researchers are partly responsible for the discovery of this)
-(((redhat)))

Wow, where do you think it is leaking from? From, memory perhaps?

...

some good friend online
if you say so. what you want another screen shot?

Hell yeah, pretty fucking big if you found the source to intel's microcode. Can you put up torrent or share a mixtape.moe link?

That's those niggers at ubuntu, they mislabled the linux kernel ME communication driver for the actual microcode as a PCI device. There's no way in hell this nigger has the intel cpu microcode. Just absolutely no fucking way.

Lol wat? Could they suck jew dick any harder?

That Intel shill posting here first.

Reuters is trying to spin this as a "global technology problem" which affects all computers.

The media in my country copy pastes that so now everyone thinks their AMD is affected by the performance drop as well when the security patches for Windows are released.

It isn't surprising that the CEO of Reuters is a Zionist.

PCworld reported that the Google’s Project Zero security team first found the bugs and reported that to Intel in juli 2017.
(couldnt use archive for some reason)

Holy shit, this has become /g/.

Stop behaving like a nigger and read the spectre pdf
AMD is affected but not has much has intel, same for ARM.
POWER isn't mentioned at all in the PDF and only redhat said something about it but since redhat is gets money from intel I don't trust what they say.

Your new is showing kiddo
Back to cuckchan

No, more like anyone who cares and understands this issue ever so slightly isn't a kike or a pajeet. If you had lurked two years you would realise the cianigger thing is real.

That would make sense since jewgle has been trying to switch to powerpc on their data servers since 2016.

Well one bug affects all proccessors and the other only affects intel, for now.

(double-checked)
Since last month there's an influx of cuck/g/ refugees and ledditors on this board.

Yea some faggot linked the old cpu bug thread straight onto plebbit. They mentioned it in the thread.

heil hymie

1.) Please do not listen to retarded Redditors, this has nothing to do with syscalls, the performance penalty only comes from Usermode Programs that need to access Kernel Mode memory through virtual memory

2.) Video game benchmarks show a 0 percent performance hit since video games do not need to access kernel mode memory, it's likely 99 percent of normal users will both notice a difference in performance whatsoever. Gaming, web browsing, even software compilation and video editing, are generally not seeing any performance penalty

3.) Database programs like SQL that need to access kernel mode memory from usermode many times a minute will see the biggest impacts on performance. SSDs in Nvme mode will also see a performance hit

4.) The largest performance overhead seen, the ballpark number of 30 percent, was seen through synthetic benchmarks and may not reflect real-world use cases.

5.) PTI and FUCKWIT (Forcefully Unmap Complete Kernel With Interrupt Trampolines) are likely a quick and dirty solution to the problem and better optimization of user and kernel memory partitioning can mitigate performance impact

6.) This is less a bug and more of an oversight by Intel (which is almost worse depending on how you look at it) basically Intel CPUs prefetch memory for performance reasons but do not consider what memory in the prefetcher is otherwise marked as protected by the OS kernel, bypassing kernel read checks to userland.

Well how are they meant to spy on you if they let things be properly protected?

Kike pls.

The spectre vulnerability isnt the bug responsible for the performance drop of up to 30% on the Intel processors.

Neither bug is responsible for the 30% performance drop. The "fixes" are responsible.

Since leaving the vulnerability on Intel unpatched is a huge security risk, I see the cause in Intel's design flaw, not the patch.

Huge isn't the word to describe this shit.
"Point blank gun to your head" is better

Are you really this naive, or..

Porky at's finnest.

This is why I don't understand why people don't want to hang the bourgeoisie.

...

Steinbeck never said that but it is a pretty true quote whoever did.

youtube.com/watch?v=Hznlp-DwgSw

This is why there should be a law, a tax, on devices which contain computers possessing re-writable software memories but which either actively prevent user writing via hardware means (if user had the JTAG hardware) or via cryptographic signature, and/or also fail to publish interface specs (hiding such specs would be anti-competitive/monopolistic behavior). If I wrote that tax law, the tax would be 100% on FINAL PRODUCTS so even Tesla cars have to open their computers or suffer their basement models never ever starting under $60K ever, and iPhones no less than $1.5K. This tax needs to apply to everything. It, basically, won't ban such proprietary hardware, but it will make it so expensive that normal users won't buy it and therefore companies like Google doing things like "No root for user" Android couldn't pull that shit anymore. It should even apply to firmware on motherboards: cryptographic keys must be replace-able and even the CPU microcode must be editable by the user. That doesn't mean source code released, it simply means the user can replace the binary firmware with his own and not have the computer 'fail' simply because it didn't pass the OEM-approved firmware check. The money from this tax would be legally limited to going toward funding FOSS projects.

If anyone is serious about national security, this tax plan will happen.

This would never have happened if people used rust.

Back to cuckchan.

Google has had this fixed in their back end systems for almost a year. Apple rolled out the patch in OSX last month.
>9to5mac.com/2018/01/03/mac-fix-for-intel-kernel-bug/

Like normal freetards are behind the curve again when it comes to security.Why reward shitty performance?

Linux kernel was the first to patch the intel bug, faggot. Go suck proprietarydick somewhere else

Wrong. OSX patched this last month. It was part of 10.13.2 on 12/6/2017.

Great, maybe they can patch the rest of the OS to not be a huge botnet.

What the fuck? How did Apple know about this vulnerability before Microsoft and the Linux developers?

Go away.

Are you too stupid to know what botnet means?

Are you?

No, but considering I typed it and it triggered you so badly that I didn't use "lingo" and list everything wrong with macOS I'd say you are the double digit IQ autist.

macos may have shitty UI and userspace devs but their kernel team is clearly topnotch. They beat linux by a month on this. Linux didn't get a patch out until the same day M$ did. That has to be humiliating if your a linux-kernal dev.

You have poor reading comprehension, like most of your ilk.

Thank you Purch Media Friend. I am glad all this FUD is dying down and I can enjoy my new Intelâ„¢ Core i7â„¢ 8700k for superior gaming performance. I knew this would only affect a few people and it was all being overhyped.

Thank you for being a sane voice in all the chaos. I sure would hate to be a stupid redditorâ„¢. But thanks to your post, I can buy Intelâ„¢ Core i7â„¢ products with out any worries or concerns about my gaming performance. I thought I would have to switch to AMD, but it seems I don't have to settle for an inferior CPU and I can purchase an Intelâ„¢ Core i7â„¢ CPU with confidence!

The bogs knew this would happen


Jim Jarmusch, real name Jean Jemois Bogdanoff, or simply Jim, was the leader of BOGHOUND during the Shadow Bog Incident. He was cloned from a hybrid of Igor and Grichka's DNA when the original twins were 4 years old (in this timeline, of which there are many, keep in mind the original twins actually transcend the time-space continuum and are therefore ageless) as part of the Les Bogfant Terribles project. Jim was led to believe that he had been created in order to express Igor and Grichkas recessive genetic traits, and as such, was "inferior" to the other two who have received dominant genes from a common ancestor. Jim therefore held a strong resentment towards Igor and Grichka but proved nonetheless useful in many black op side projects and has since been unwittingly manipulated by the original twins into doing their bidding. 

Possessing an IQ of 180, Jim spoke seven languages fluently, including English, Spanish, French, Malay, Arabic, and Kikongo.

Well that's unexpected

I know Linux developers were aware at least a month ago, since I heard about the CVE back then. I wasn't told what the issue was, just that it was coming down the pipe.

Look at you, you are so smart! I wish I could be as ignorant intelligent as you!

Lol. OpenBSD patched this in 2007

Lol. No. And they'll probably never patch it because they'll call fixing this "bloat" like they usually do. Then a decade later they'll patch it and call it new, revolutionary, never-before-seen, and the first os to have the patch.

So why aren't Windows users seeing any real performance penalty as a result of the patch?
My theories are as follows;

1.) Windows is technically a microkernel A very monolithic-like microkernel do to decades of "integration" between components but they could very well still have more flexibility, obviously we'll never know as to the extent since Windows is proprietary so that means in theory its possible to minimize any possible reads/writes to kernel memory from userspace. Linux conversely is monolithic so that means a huge chunk of the system must be dedicated to kernel memory

And theory number 2.) Microsoft simply put any entrypoints for the exploit under a blacklist and called it a day

Theory #3: Your wife orbits my dick and you're a retard. It's been talked to death already that this "30%" figure is bogus, and only applies to specific workloads of the sort you see in servers. Most tasks are only affected marginally.

I would not be surprised if this was brought on by these companies. Now governments will be buying supposedly "fixed" chips and creating a surge in profits for these companies.

Benchmarks prove that there is a hit with FS I/O in synthetic benchmarks, but only for SSDs, in addition SQL also took a hit, but again, that was only a synthetic benchmark.

The performance hit is there, but 99.9 percent of users will never see it since it only effects usermode programs that want to access kernel memory, and most applications do not need to do this. I think there was a big scare in the Linux community simply because of Linux' monolithic nature so it was speculated this would happen a lot. A big aspect of the performance hit is system design. That's why OSX patched it awhile ago and nobody noticed a difference. OSX is a microkernel in a manner similar to Windows

This is definitely anti-Schematic

holy shit when will you finally fuck off

Theory #4
They haven't actually enabled the patch, despite thinking that downloading it does the job?

PS: don't forget to fuck around in the Registry to make sure AV suites don't barf...

The patch comes from an update

They could just like build their own SPARC systems instead, like Russia.

The US sockpuppets ruling the EU won't.

...

You guys sure sound like them.

AMD's exploits aren't nearly as big of a deal as Intel's, you butt fucking shill.

Why would you just go on the Internet and lie like this?

They do, for IO. SSDs can get bottlenecked by intel CPUs now.

Also consider that most people have massively overpowered hardware for light browsing / email / office tasks.

What kind of ordinary user pegs their hardware these days anyway?

Even on synthetic benchmarks SSD performance is well above HDD performance. I sincerely doubt anyone will notice a difference in SSD I/O now either

which are all using massively bloated web frameworks now.

the average goy does this all in the cloud in javascript which pins these cpu's on a regular basis.

What has that to do with anything? Just because SSDs are still faster than HDDs doesn't mean they aren't affected. I/O is affected, that's a fact.

I think I'll take this statement with a grain of salt and say that you're talking out your ass and much to the dismay of corporate giants who want your data, the average end-user uses "DA CLOUD!" a lot less than you probably think

Didn't say they weren't you gigantic sperg, but the average user will likely never see the difference. The average program does not require synthetic-benchload levels of I/O that pegs your SSD to 100 percent

browser cache performance is going to get wrecked by this. they all use memory cache obviously but they also write this shit all over the hard drive, and the browser will stop the whole show if the disk cache hasn't responded yet. try pinning you I/O and surfing the web in pozfox.

web cache fetching and filesystem paging would likely get bottlenecked by software way before they get bottlenecked by the security patch

sure your not going to see the IO drop in light use your just going to see 30% more cpu usage doing it.

In practice the actual performance impact is a lot less than 30 percent and you know it

I'm not sure where you're going with that goalpost.

...

I said any real performance penalty, the goalpost is still firmly planted in the grass

The collage would be perfect if it didn't have that subtle shill for ARMshit

The retard who made it also did a really shitty job at cropping some of his screens
That fuck does South Korea trying to appeal to the Norks have to do with Shitel?

Also, who do I hear a lot of retards saying this is a microcode update? I thought meltdown couldn't be fixed in microcode

Either it's animated and my browser can't display it, or there's something hidden in that file.

Update your shit Jesus

Fixed, also don't know what compression the retard was using but that file doesn't need to be 15 megs

...

heh

If this were endchan, I would've posted the entire 60mb

chiru.no/u/intel_collage.png

but...why?

it's 60mb worth of images

How do you measure this when it can just as easily be compressed to 10MBs with negligible loss in quality?
Do you have brain damage?

probably a stupid question but what's the difference between the current layer of protection for intel and a vm? they both restrict access in the same way near as i can tell.

it all looks like shit if you've seen/worked with the source

It really all depends on how the VM accesses kernel memory from usermode

wtf you're right I'm just going to upload my 60MB RAWs to image sharing websites from now on because that's sure practical for all parties involved and totally worth the extra 2% resolution

wow great argument fagtron you sure convinced me with those hot opinions

...

well cisco has been patching their esxi machines for months now where there's essentially (it's a linux kernel) no host, but i can't imagine the base instructions for the processor being that bad.

Listen to chiru.no:8081/stream.flac while you're at it

Aren't those essentially hypervisors? I would imagine any potential performance penalty s far as hypervisors go would be no different than bare metal

i hate the term bare metal, because it's still just a kernel.
the added overhead from the patch seems pretty low, but it looks like stacking vms to me.

It pretty much is in essence

...

Except, you know, the people who would notice, who will notice a lot.

Like video editors for instance.

Even in video editors, the video decoder would ultimately bottleneck you well before filesystem I/O does. And video decoding is not affected by PTI whatsoever if the benchmarks mean anything

encyclopediadramatica.rs/Cornelia

chiru back at it again

Decoding isn't the intensive part you dipshit.

So will a BIOS update be needed as well as a kernel/OS update?

Just reinstall Windows

If you have armv7 on OpenBSD, then you're basically not affected at all.

And Pentium II was basically Pentium Pro with MMX added. That's why all of Pentium Pro/II/III are considered the same architecture (P6/686).

What will be the endgame for all the hardware that will remain vulnerable to Spectre? Viable usage only airgapped and Faraday-caged (to prevent WLAN/Bluetooth etc. compromise) environments? Connecting to the internets viable only on whatever new ""safe"" platforms are going to be provided in the future? Considering the gravity of changes that will need to be made, and the impending final end of support for BIOS in 2020, could the outcome be the death of the x86(-64) platforms and the PC in general? Will the 40th anniversary of the Personal Computer be celebrated at its freshly-dug grave?

Spectre can easily be fixed with software updates. Embedded shit vulnerable to Spectre will die in 2038 anyways do to the Linux time_t overflow since most embedded shit is 32-bit still
Kill urself my man

You do realize that a PC is to people born after 2010 like a typewriter was to people born after 1980? Something that still exists and is in more or less widepread use, but on its way out and about to be replaced by something else. For those now growing up the natural computing devices of choice are smartphones, tablets, chromebooks, or macbooks at best. They don't care about having control over the hardware or software they're using and don't care about having a copy of the media files they consume, being perfectly fine with doing so via Youtube, Netflix or Spotify. The world has changed very much and is still changing. In the 80s we had a major shift from the "teletype and mainframe" to the "personal computer and open internet" paradigm, and now the change from the latter to the "smartphone and cloud" one. Dunno about you, but to me seeing the PC platform's future as threatened in the coming years seems not overly farfetched.

The retard is still talking...

I'm sorry but you are 100 percent wrong and have no idea what you're talking about. PCs and Smartphones aren't mutually exclusive markets. And there is absolutely nothing as far as real world industry trends to reflect that. PCs aren't going anywhere. There are roughly 2 billion PCs in use and there's no signs of that changing. Smartphones aren't killing PCs, the problem is the average normalfag household of 5 people will have 5 Smartphones, one per person, and typically a single PC for the whole house. PCs also have a longer service life than Smartphones. The PC market slowed down considerably in the 2010s but that has more to do with the market stabilizing than anything else. Laptops have been aggressively driving growth in the PC market for at least the past 5 years now, with Nvidia reporting sales of over 20 million GTX series Laptops in 2015 alone. The average of which is well over a thousand bucks mind you.

Now fuck off you're actively lowering the IQ of this board

Wew lad that's some top notch shitposting

Die.

Unfortunately they can't get over not including the PSP.

You're like last century's idiots who thought that in the year 2000 we would have jetpacks and hovercars. Computers aren't about to be replaced anytime soon, idiot. They're too useful for that. It's true that a lot of computer functionality is being coopted into smaller hand-held devices but that doesn't mean that the PC itself is on its way out. There's too much shit you can't reasonably do without a PC.

They updated their chipset drivers to include the option to disable PSP. It's just that NONE, and I mean FUCKING NONE of the motherboard manufacturers will fucking god damn touch it.

bourgeoisie is a noun, you retarded faggots. bourgeois is an adjective. and, I'll give anyone $10grand to show me a Jew that's not bourgeois. PS. champagne socialists and religious extremists don't count (and/or are actually still bourgeois despite their pretensions)

Interesting is there any way to do this manually as a user?

The far right is national socialism, not national capitalism.

The only difference between Holla Forums and liberals is the former hates liberals.
