You laugh, but if you're buying used, this 100% makes Intel the way to go over a Ryzen 1000/2000/3000 CPU.

I dont know.

If I had my choice between a CPU that has a vulnerability that can only be exploited if the system is already compromised

or a CPU that are full of oxidation cancer, or frying themselves and doing irreparable damage.. Which the company is being excessively shady about concretely admitting to any RMA promises and wwill all eventually die in short order..

I think I'm gonna go with the Ryzen and not leave leave my computer outside at defcon.

Risc-V is the real response to this problem

[–] herrvogel 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

How is that? Does risc-v have magical properties that make its designers infallible, or somehow make it possible to fix flaws in the physical design after the CPU has already been fabbed and sold?

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink 3 points 3 months ago

So what you are saying is, it's just as Risc-E

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Because it does not set in stone that there can be only 2 companies producing compatible chips, which can be however bad until both of them does the same shit practices.

So the short answer is by not stifling competition.
