For the uproar of the security breach, Intel made a second voice this morning, this time mainly to show what they did and clarify the issue of performance loss.
The discoverer names the two vulnerabilities "Meltdown" and "Specter," and Intel said they are working closely with partners and have begun deploying software patches and firmware to Intel processor-based PCs and server platforms Updated.
Currently, Over the past five years the processor (Editor's note: meaning Ivy Bridge dates back to 2012, the third generation Core Duo) products have been covered, Intel is expected next week, updates and patches will cover more than 90%.
Intel's patch, which is extremely concerned about the world, has led to performance degradation. Intel emphasized that they stick to the view from yesterday's PR draft that this performance impact is strongly correlated with workload, and that each PC user has little impact, The time will be gradually weakened.
However, Intel said frankly this time, For some non-consecutive load scenarios, there may be a large loss of performance after a preliminary hot fix, but this will gradually improve after verification mechanisms, testing mechanisms, and further repairs.
Intel said they will continue to improve the relevant work, but also hope that all users can open the system, the software automatically updates, in order to make every attempt.
In my opinion, judging from this wording, Intel prioritized the product safety during the last five years of maintenance and the discoverer emphasized that almost all Intel CPUs from 1995 onwards were affected by this, and it appears that their soundness Or not, even if the performance is weakened, Intel may be no energy, it may not be relieved.
