The flaws are ALL HARDWARE. Not microcode. Microcode can ameliorate the flaw somewhat but as is being shown, the flaw will not go away until the hardware is redesigned. "Only New CPUs Can Truly Fix ZombieLoad and Spectre"...

The very same exploits keep popping up. Intel branch prediction and look ahead buffers are not secure. Intel is fixing nothing. Do you seriously think that Intel is going to hamstring their high margin server cpu's just so they are secure? One thing is certain. The media has consistently...

Were you born obtuse or do you work at it? Yes I have an agenda. Everyone has an agenda. SO WHAT. I am sick and tired of buying a product that puts my information at risk. The very same vulnerability keeps popping up regarding Intel branch prediction and look-ahead buffers. Clearly Intel...

Stop acting like a child. So what if Euro and Japanese cars had flaws. THEY ALL DID.

I never said Detroit made "crap" cars. I only said they were unsafe. And they were. Hence the On September 9, 1966, the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act became law in the U.S., the first mandatory federal safety standards for motor vehicles. Even before then since the 1920's...

"While not good security flaws come up it has to be taken in context." That is what Intel keeps saying to you. Intel has also been saying to you that their CPU's are secure. If a lie is repeated enough times then it gains a truth all of it's own. Your passworded data is on dozens of severs that...

Threadripper does have quite an enthusiastic following among those who run software that can take advantage of Massively Parallel Processing. Thousands of TR's have been sold to DIY enthusiasts who are professional chessplayers. Chess is one game that can fully apply upwards of 64 cores and...

Tom's Hardware and other media sites are always making lists. Especially what is the best CPU to spend hard earned money on. This question should help Tom's writers to better define these cpu's as consumers should determine what is important to them. Intel sells cpu's the same way that...

It would seem to me that DATA SECURITY would be high on any list of desirable CPU attributes. Is that too much to ask? Intel continues to produce silicon that is demonstrated time and time again to be flawed and vulnerable to malicious attack. Yet Tom's Hardware continues to pump Intel's...

nVidia seems to be blocked from the two top Supercomputers.

EPYC is not "uncertified server tech", whatever that is, if you had read the several pieces regarding Dells expansion into 7nm EPYC you would know this. In fact if you Google "uncertified server tech" Neither AZURE nor AWS uses ARM. Again you should read before you comment. So why don't...

EPYC is not "uncertified server tech", whatever that is, if you had read the several pieces regarding Dells expansion into 7nm EPYC you would know this. In fact if you Google "uncertified server tech" there are no results. Your comment is essentially a non-sequitur. Neither AZURE nor AWS uses...

The Ryzen chiplets in EPYC are the same for TR. With a few mods.

I didn't say that. However I cannot think of a reason why AWS or AZURE would NOT use EPYC, perhaps not exclusively. Especially seeing as how both are continuing to expand EPYC instances. Go to the FBO website I posted above and download the solicitation documents. Why would the anyone use...
