A place to discuss and share information regarding Intel's design flaw in the x-86-64 based chips. Basically everything they made going back at least 10 years.
I spoke to Scott yesterday, owner of TradingComputers.com, about my machines and he confirmed it's my problem too....lol. He said Intel has 90% market share.

Obviously I am not speaking for Sam.... all I can figure from his comment is that our machines will run faster (like "normal" and how we are used to) up until the point of the OS software major reworking, probably with the month here, and THEN we will have nice somewhat slower machines to lose money on.....lol

Their processors are affected but the probability of being impacted is lower than on cloud providers services (AWS, Google CE, ...). On your own PC you're usually the only user so you have to have a virus or a malware activating this thing. On AWS EC2 a client VM could impact the hypervisor (the physical server) and impacting the other clients.
So the main risk is for some cloud providers, for a "normal" user it's as risky a getting a bad malware. The Wannacry ransomware was much worst, but let's see what's happening next.
