Red Hat Recommends Disabling The Intel Linux Graphics Driver Over Hardware Flaw

[tildearrow]

Next time I will just disable my entire computer over too many flaws.

This is ridiculous for real :<

Renoir can't come soon enough. This is getting ridiculous.

That is a pretty significant cut in performance. Effectively no GPU acceleration at all. The security impact must be greater than first imagined if RedHat suggest this.

Phoronix: Red Hat Recommends Disabling The Intel Linux Graphics Driver Over Hardware Flaw

It's been another day testing and investigating CVE-2019-14615, a.k.a. the Intel graphics hardware issue where for Gen9 all turned out to be okay but for Gen7 graphics leads to some big performance hits. Besides the Core i7 tests published yesterday in the aforelinked article, tests on relevant Core i3 and i5 CPUs are currently being carried out for seeing the impact there (so far, it's looking to be equally brutal)...
