2nd Gen Ryzen

[DJones2894]

Wccftech has articles about the 2nd generation of AMD Ryzen processors.  I would be very interested in seeing how these compare to Intel's 8th generation CPUs.

Old news is exciting I guess

Would be very interesting to see if these chips are too late to be modified to mitigate the million or so Ryzen security gaps.... /s

yes they should indeed fix the fact that somebody can steal my ryzen machine. Damned AMD 

 

yes i got it don't worry

It's been stated that these exploits are only usable with root access. So if someone is using these your probably already in trouble. This, however, doesn't absolve AMD of their failure.

those security flaws are fake and were designed to make AMD's stock go down.

I'm pretty pro-AMD in that I've never even owned a single Intel system in over 20 years of owning computers, and even I wouldn't go so far as to say they're fake.  I would say that further inspection of the alleged vulnerabilities is required to determine for certain if they're legit (or if they're actually worth someone's time to implement an attack vector with them) - and the company the introduced them is definitely pond scum for the way they've handled the whole situation - but we don't know for certain that they're fake.

What'd you think AMD did in that 24 hours?

Bob on m' knob until they got the cream out?

I figure AMD would be proactive (I use AMD, so I do care). I didn't know if these were to far in down the line to be changed in any meaningful way prior to launch.

Unless AMD was somehow aware of the issue prior to being notified by CTS, then there's literally nothing they could do at this stage; given that the processors are (so far as I'm aware) set to be released next month, which means they've already been mass producing them for release.

Makes sense, that's why I was asking. I had the same thoughts, but didn't know if I was wrong AF or not. Again, all depending on the validity of such claims.

I've never seen more boring benchmarks in all my life. Only interested to see gaming performance. Guess the wait continues

Not that I'd buy anything now anyway, and unless some wicked ITX boards come out, it's unlikely I'd go AMD.
