Yea it's going to hurt activities like gaming very lightly. Benchmarks with the new Linux kernel already show close to no difference in FPS for most games. Not sure how much it will be affected on Windows but I doubt it will be bad. Definitely nowhere near 30%

Sounds like the people who are going to be really pissed are the guys managing the microsoft/google/amazon servers.

Ya the major performance hit was always going to be more focused on the enterprise level, they even specifically mentioned cloud based operations in the article I read, so streaming services gonna get hit hard.

Conspiracy theories out the wazoo about how intel has known about this for the full decade but got paid by DoD and NSA to keep their mouths shut so they could use it as a spy tool.

Joseph P. Nacchio (born June 22, 1949 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American executive who was chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Qwest Communications International from 1997 to 2002.

He was convicted of 19 counts of insider trading in Qwest stock on April 19, 2007[1] – charges his defense team claimed were U.S. government retaliation for his refusal to give customer data to the National Security Agency in February, 2001.[2] This defense was not admissible in court because the U.S. Department of Justice filed an in limine motion,[3] which is often used in national security cases, to exclude information which may reveal state secrets. Information from the Classified Information Procedures Act hearings in Mr. DiNaccio's case was likewise ruled inadmissible.[4]

On July 27, 2007, he was sentenced to six years in federal prison, and after appeals failed he reported to Federal Correctional Institution, Schuylkill in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania on April 14, 2009 to serve his sentence.[5] Nacchio finished serving his sentence on September 20, 2013.[6]

Tried messing with some dark shades of green on their weapons? With that vibrant of a color you could do some pretty sexy lighting.

Personally I think it is more likely Intel has known for a while, but they wanted to be in a more dominant position for the $$$. It wouldn't surprise me if the DOD and NSA figured it out on their own much earlier.

So none of the i-series cores after Sandy Bridge are affected? That doesn't seem to mesh with the way info was being presented yesterday but it would be good news for sure.

Or do all of the later generations just fall under "Intel Core processor" namesakes even though they're i3-5-7-9?

Yes, Sandy Bridge should fall under 2nd generation. Intel intentionally being obtuse to try to get people to think it isn't a big deal. Like why else would they list out i3, i5, and i7 separately at very specific architecture's, I've literally never seen them refer to them separately like that before (because they're just 1st generation processors under their nomenclature).

Here's a list of what falls under each label:

2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors: Sandy Bridge
3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors: Ivy Bridge
4th generation Intel® Core™ processors: Haswell
5th generation Intel® Core™ processors: Broadwell
6th generation Intel® Core™ processors: Skylake
7th generation Intel® Core™ processors: Kaby Lake
8th generation Intel® Core™ processors: I assume Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake (Cannon Lake isn't out yet.. so they should fix the issue by then? No guarantee though. Maybe this is why Cannon Lake was delayed until 2018, was supposed to be out in 2016 originally)

That's what I thought, but the i3/5/7 being listed separately(and no i9 at all) had me buggin for a solid bit, like I was starting to second guess everything I thought I knew about intel CPUs.

Man shit do I refund my Coffee Lake while it's still in the period I could send it back no questions and go for a Ryzen? I know the performance hit for gaming looks to actually be negligible but at this point it's almost more about supporting AMD than worrying about some FPS.
