  No luck, it’s a systemic issue (practice):

  Update: Intel’s Downfall was closely followed by AMD’s Inception, a newfound security hole affecting all Ryzen and Epyc processors. The first independent testing of the mitigation microcode patches show that it can drastically lower performance in certain workloads. We’ve included details throughout this post.

    Is that the same as zenbleed or in addition? How easy zenbleed was to test and the kind of information gained was terrifying.

        Damn. I just recently patched up my dedicated box for zenbleed. This seems far worse.

        I mean I'm not going to be a high value target. But still, this isn't looking good for either chip maker right now.

  I got a 10400F because AMD completely abandoned the budget segment at that time.
