I don't know why you have to let a dozen software companies off the hook if they sold you software that claimed a certain processing rate and then made it slower. Why do you? Only you can answer that question.
There is no hardware or firmware fix to the problems, just software workarounds. The only hardware fix is to remove your processor and throw it away and replace it with something else that isn't broken.
Right..probably not for desktop users. They are used to things being slow. However a 2 minute compile isn't a very good test. The big problem is going to be server side. If you were getting a certain throughput previously and now it is 10% to 50% slower that is a big problem because that comes out of your pocket. Intel is going to have to make people whole and recall their processors.
The only problem is from the chart some of the workflows were even faster by 3% to 5%. I might need to send them some more money if I start using those workflows.
...there seems to be a different auth code path for different padlock unlock/lock actions. Oh brother. So the bug isn't a big deal, but the symptom is troubling.
When you are connected to the Internet (especially through the web) you have many users of your system. For example, any website you visit can run a Javascript program on your machine. With this flaw it can "break out" of your browser. What a mess.
That is the dumbest argument I have ever heard: paying people money so you can get some of it back in taxes. Why not just give people money directly? It would "save" money.
You are right. You can't expect Microsoft to fix their older operating systems that are under support. They just don't have the manpower or money. Everyone should just install Windows 10 (starts at only $119). And you also shouldn't expect Intel to fix their stuff either. It isn't like they have money to fix their stuff either. Just buy a new chip when it comes out. Problem solved.

Moore's Law has been dead for over 10 years now.
"Most users will see 0% change in speed."
Wow, amazing. You must have run your own benchmarks. Even Intel didn't say 0%! You should work for Intel.

Just replace them once the next generation of processors comes out and you will be able to get back to the previous processing level. Problem solved.

If Intel is admitting a 10% slowdown then it must be much much larger. Because Intel and benchmarks don't live in reality.
GW tuition is over $53,000 a year. They will take anyone's money. These institutions are now just money making empires.

Actually I work in IT for $50k to protect the country. I don't just leech off of taxpayers money all day.
The current generation of computers are going to be even slower than the last generation. Nice job all around!

Cool story bro. Like I said, I am sure the glass will do fine against golf and baseball sized hail.
Really? I live in my Mom's basement so I don't have a window. Thanks for the tip.
Yeah, the glass solar roof will do great against golf and baseball size hail.
Yeah, they only had $1.5 billion in revenue last year and $16 million profit. Poor guys.
It closed 116% higher and up another 46% in the after hours market. The Golden Times are here now, and they will never end. You can count on it!
He probably suffered from a deep depression or was bipolar. That is fairly common in the industry. He will be missed.
Fortunately my investment in Flooz hasn't lost any value due to this issue.
I agree. Microsoft software gets better and better. Always upgrade to the newest!
Dell announces they are stopping support for "Dell Mobile Connect".
