The people that are going to get F'd the most are the Chromebook on Linux crowd(GalliumOS).

birdie the memory activation patterns initially used by rowhammer were mitigated by simple changes such as doubling the refresh rate . The current ones reliably work despite all software and hardware protections released since then

I'm actually a little surprised Intel hasn't been more heavily hit yet. I don't think anyone could sue them for the slew of security risks they put so many millions of people into, but, they could be sued for selling products that don't perform to the specs they expected. Not only has Intel not lowered their prices, they actually brought them up, due to the shortage.

This is so much fun. Slower I/O, memory allocation, network latency. Some SSDs work at almost half speed. Thanks, Intel.

Guest repliedConsidering the hit on context switching, I don't think I want to see benchmarks on older chips (which I happen to own and use).

This is disastrous. As if the last 6+ years of CPU performance gains have been wiped clean. The only saving grace for newer Intel CPUs is their high turbo frequency.
