Intel says that AMD and Nvidia had more vulnerabilities versus its products.

Putting it bluntly Intell is full of it.

 

[Pierce2623]

Sure guys, of course we believe you….

 

[TheSecondPower]

Aside from claiming its products are the most secure, Intel is also trying to take AMD and Nvidia down a peg. Now probably isn't the time for that.

Isn't it though? Intel is arguing that if security is important to you when shopping, Intel should get some points for it. As I recall, AMD similarly jabbed Intel during the Spectre days. (And I believe a similar though less-severe vulnerability was found in AMD CPUs just a short time later.)

Can't take advantage of a vulnerability if the chip has burned out

 

[ottonis]

Psychologically, mocking competitors is a sign of own insecurity rather than dominance.

yeah Intel 14th gen Suicide Lake has no usable vulnerability because it is not usable.

Ryzenfall? The attempt to make AMD stock tank.. nah

 

[Gururu]

Smells like AMD boasting about AI performance over nVidia and getting hammed for it. Stay in your lane companies!

Intel's report sounds like its narrative was either written by AI or child. "More = bad, less = goooooood!" Lol, there's so much more to cybersecurity than raw numbers of vulnerabilities, such as exploitability characteristics (ease of exploitation, reliability in (re)producing, proof-of-concept code, how common in the wild, etc.), CVSS scores, time-to-patch of the software/hardware vendors, and so on. Context is needed around each vulnerability. There's other nuances to consider as well, but no need for me to ramble on.

That paper become a marketing paper rather than a pure security one, which is a shame. Should Intel get security brownie points? Meh, I'll say sure for governments and large enterprises. Is it serious enough to overcome their performance, efficiency, and overall Total Cost of Ownership problems? That's for each individual and organization to decide, but at the consumer level, Intel's arguments are completely moot; how many consumers are running however old CPU's and motherboards with old BIOS versions, EOS Operating Systems like Windows 7 and/or not keeping up on Windows Update (yes, forgive me Linux crowd as I'm just scoping Windows users this time), and so on.

To the naysayers who posted above...

You can't just say no it isn't and call that an argument

Most likely written by their marketing department. The marketing people usually have no clue on anything related to technology, nor do they really understand what they are talking about. But they are getting paid to make it sound really big and great.

There are huge threads on Steam that came from the "Save Windows 7" brigade. They insist that they are still getting patches so on that basis the OS is still ok.

The OS, win 7, is officially dead and is no longer supported. It is not being worked on and anything you might get is most likely cumulative, pushed to all platforms, virus definition updates. Windows 7, a now long dead OS, is not getting any feature updates, fixes for vulnerabilities found. You are on your own. Not even newly found day zero's will get fixed meaning that you are now totally vulnerable.

At this point i;d say that %99 of linux distros are better for you then win 7 when it comes to owning a safe OS. Windows 7 is not safe. THey refuse to accept this

"According to recent reports, while both Intel and AMD experience vulnerabilities, Intel generally claims to have a better security record with fewer reported vulnerabilities compared to AMD; however, this data can be skewed as Intel often presents its own statistics which may not be entirely objective, with some sources indicating that AMD might have significantly fewer publicly disclosed vulnerabilities than Intel. "

 

[rluker5]

This report is for 2024. I'm sure Intel is just expressing the parts that make them look good, but the numbers should be verifiable. If they are true then they are true.
Vulnerabilities being found by the public instead of in house is bad. Vulnerabilities having no planned fix is worse.

Was going to say something snarky, but I can't top this!

 

[stuff and nonesense]

The low hanging fruit vulnerabilities have been found. The ones uncovered these days are obscure and need admin access/ physical access to exploit. The chances of them being used are slim (never say never) but if someone was able to use the exploit your pc/server is hosed already.

Google revealing that they have discovered a bug in the ųcode, think about this - the ųcode bug goes back to zen, first gen servers, it’s been there for coming up to 10 years. It shows how deeply the researchers are digging to find “insecurities”. I can’t say that I agree with not fixing bugs, it may be that they are all but impossible to fix or it might be that they are all but impossible to exploit. I don’t know enough to say. Intel or AMD we will have to trust their judgement.

 

[jkhoward]

This must be satire, Intel was destroyed by the Spectre flaws, and that’s how they had such a great performance lead. Once it was public knowledge they had to re-think their core designs, and this is how they ended up what they are today.

 

[Murissokah]

Sounds like someone is full of insecurities (pun intended)

Nope, all modern complex hardware and software has bugs. I just hope they aren’t found and used before I upgrade.

 

[Makaveli]

2019 isn't 2024.

Easy fix.

just go to the site and you can look up the dates on the CVE's
