    Ryzenfall and related vulnerabilities still haven't been fixed

    Ryzenfall is a PR exploit not a serious vulnerability, it requires physical access.

    Investigators uncovered an article by Viceroy Research condemning AMD on the exploit and noted how the article was published less than half an hour after the exploits were revealed. Given the polish of the article which appears to be written many days in advance, and wording of the article which suggests that it is financially motivated, many were quick to accuse the exploit as a smear campaign engineered by Viceroy to short-sell AMD's stocks.

    Meanwhile, Intel still has major issues with Meltdown, which is much more serious than Spectre because Meltdown breaks the veil between user and kernel, while Spectre is a process/process leak, much easier to address at the OS level. With fresh new Meltdown exploits demonstrated, Intel is still very much in the hot seat and AMD is the more secure processor.

    I hope Intel has a huge, massively expensive decline.

    I hope that Intel becomes a better company with better products and that when the dust settles they will share the x86 market roughly equally with AMD. No dirty tricks now, Intel.

    Most of the responses to this article are "AMD" so I don't need to say it. But I will anyway. AMD.

  12. You are particularly random, and full of shit. See "we don't know" re exploits in the wild. You just go right ahead and respell that as "there are none" and go back to your crack pipe. I will go with the Linux devs, who know just a bit more about it than you and released yet another costly mitigation today.

    A breakthrough in basic physics would also be helpful because the energy cost of producing a muon is 6 GeV while each D-T fusion yields .0176 GeV of heat and is captured by a helium nucleus on average once per 1-200 reactions. Generating electricity costs another factor of 2.5, so the energy gap is nearly an order of magnitude.

    Store muons? I think that's a fanciful embellishment of your own, and thank you for explaining the length of a microsecond.

    If you are not delusional then tell me how I'm wrong. Be specific and concise, but do provide enough detail to prove your case. I bet you can't even remember what you were arguing about, much less why, or what you hope to get out of it.

    I was going to jump in with something about violating causality, then I thought, better wait for somebody who actually knows what they're talking about.

    Maybe they will follow up with an improved perpetual motion machine or a breakthrough in cold fusion.
