I couldn't find that, in italian news they said "all the cpus since 10 years ago", and this is very vague. Maybe phoronix has something more, they (he...) did some tests

Mike

Bad, bad, bad news :( are atoms involved, too?

Stas'M

Obviously 😰

Especially for database and file access

Mike

I really don't know. But looks even worse than phenom TLB bug

AMD said that their CPUs are not affected.

Famicom/CDDL

It’s time for Via to step up their game

MS included a fix for AMD, so...

The original nVidia ion platform was developed for nano, then it was shifted on atom

Even the linux kernel group, but they should not be affected

I guess we'll wait and see.

Stas'M

Right

Interesting

Google Chrome testing is in progress

Stas'M

How he's planning to add network support to kernel?

Stas'M

this is very high-level things, that don't work without drivers

Stas'M

Is these just plans, or he already have something like code?

Stas'M

Dunno, I think they are same, just two different data transfer ways

Stas'M

But LAN can be faster

Олександр

Alright

Marco

Apparently it has to do with prefetching, a feature introduced in 1995 with pentium pro

Mike

So, everything from Pentium pro and k6 is not safe anymore...???

yep

Олександр

That's because of debugging being enabled.

On some systems USB boot is really slow

Chungy

heh no. CD 52× can read faster than USB1, and then there's the higher speeds of DVD or even BD (though with prices of such, I kind of hope nobody's wasting BD-Rs for ReactOS :P)
