I'm not sure if I'm analyzing the benchmarks correctly, but looking at the very end of https://openbenchmarking.org/result/...ar+Linux+31480, there's 3% difference in geometric mean. Provided that the performance hit for Intel was said to be around 4%, this seems to be almost the same hit for AMD. I don't want to see this being applied by default anywhere. Perhaps it's time to separate distros to AMD and Intel, a bit similarly as there used to be i386 and x86_64. Mostly this would affect only binaries. Unfortunately the users have almost no power over this kind of BS on Windows.
Here's what I have to say to Intel: I don't want your kludgy patches and workarounds and workarounds for workarounds. Pull your $h1t together and start making products that are not a security hazard to use without performance-crippling software hacks, please! Maybe move some budget over from OEM bribing and marketing to R&D and validation?
