Hi,
While a performance hit will likely be there, it is hard to say how big it will be. It really depends on the workload.
Ciao, Marcus
I am still unclear. Will all this all affect performance on my new AMD Ryzen processor?
Who knows? Probably not much. Expected slowdown is probably about 5%. The Ryzen is immune to exploit 1, so that lessens the hit even further. The big question is what sort of programs are you running? Do you run disk-intensive programs? They'll get hit hard. Do you do home banking on the web? That's a big risk. It's probably a safe bet that your new Ryzen - even with the performance hit - will be faster than what it replaces. At the end of the day, nobody really knows at present. Bear in mind this wasn't even supposed to become public knowledge until next week, so everybody's been caught on the hop. And whatever the hit is, once a working fix is out there, the kernel devs will be working to reduce it ... :-) Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
