Comment on Intel 'Downfall': Severe flaw in billions of CPUs leaks passwords and much more
stardreamer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year agoIt’s the AVX-2/AVX-512 instructions that have issues. In most cases unless you’re running a server CPU (or extremely recent consumer CPU) you’ll be fine.
Scary for HPC/AI? Yes. For most people? Not really.

AVX-2 has been in pretty much every CPU since 2011. For AVX512 intel’s been shipping that to consumers since Ice Lake 2019.
