Hello, while I was going to order components to build a high-end workstation using the 7900X, I received a message from a colleague. He mentioned that I do have to worry about such meltdown and spectre vulnerabilities. The slowdown could be negligible or as much as 20%. We use Ubuntu Linux, not Windows. What suggestions do you have? Stop the plan to spend a lot of money to build a supposed to be high performance system and wait until Intel/AMD have fixed the bugs at hardware level, build a lower cost temporarily system using the 8700K or just go ahead to order components for the 7900X system?
Anybody has more accurate info on when Intel and AMD will roll out 7900X/Threadripper level CPUs with over 44+ lanes? I read that Intel may release something later this year but no info on the number of PCIe lanes.
