Benchmarks:
TL;DW:
- NVMe SSD performance is affected
- CPU performance in everyday tasks is unaffected
- Gaming performance is also unaffected
So most users aren't going to be affected by this patch, that's good.
BTW, CALLED IT.

Noooo, don't derail this status update

BEER BEER BEER!

Yep, I'm not surprised in the slightest and actually got into a long argument with someone about this, they apparently didn't understand what I was saying and started spouting random things about draw calls and frankly annoyed me with their locked in stupidity.

>NVME is affected
oh goodie all 3 people
-
@Droidbot I have an NVME drive. RIP me.
-
Maybe now people will stop paying overprice for a nvme ssd that they don't benefit from? [:
@AresKrieger Tell me about it I had to ignore that user that was going every thread about "which CPU to buy" telling every one even who wanted high refresh rate gaming to get Ryzen because Intel was doomed raw performance losses of 30% or more and linking a bunch of shitty rushed articles with no real data.

@Cinnabar Sonar But you have a Threadripper, so you're good
@Princess Cadence Doubt it, the performance hit isn't that big anyways (10-20%)
-
@Droidbot Not really, it simply shows that server benchmarks aren't indicative of desktop performance
-
@Droidbot Haha funny because one of the very first things I wrote yesterday on the subject was that Microsoft has much more financial means, with much more meaningful teams of skilled people than those working on Linux and certainly they would back a better job patching this up... after all they indeed have to do something to justify all those over priced licenses keys heheh
-
@Princess Cadence The worst part of that is if they want a high end GPU they should never pick Ryzen for the most optimal performance as stuttering issues often occur with Nvidia GPUs when ryzen is used, if you get a ryzen cpu for budget reasons pair it with a amd gpu (assuming the price isn't through the roof due to mining) high end gaming isn't AMD's strength

Well, RIP my workstation (7700k, nvme SSD)

Grrr I'm still waiting on server benchmarks... NEED THOSE!!!!
