Mislio sam na neki grafikon ili video koji bi pokazao testove igara prije i poslije zakrpe, koji bi potvrdio gubitak od 10% u gamingu.

Pass 0, 12.466310, 87.951523, 67.537834

Pass 1, 35.587948, 102.294464, 77.057365

GTA V, Meltdown/Spectre protection disabled:



Frames Per Second (Higher is better) Min, Max, Avg

Pass 0, 18.301443, 94.711319, 76.394928

Pass 1, 49.353958, 135.707306, 87.262985

Pass 3, 55.602509, 132.006226, 101.361748

Pass 4, 25.132448, 149.900314, 85.941391



Ghost Recon Wildlands, Meltdown/Spectre protection enabled:



FPS:Average: 50.48 Min: 34.72 Max: 56.16

GPU peak temp: 74

CPU usage: Average: 46.0% Min: 36.7% Max: 59.5%

GPU usage: Average: 76.1% Min: 65.8% Max: 86.1%

RAM usage: Average: 2.8 GB Min: 2.7 GB Max: 2.9 GB



Ghost Recon Wildlands, Meltdown/Spectre protection disabled:



FPS: Average: 54.50 Min: 45.14 Max: 58.59

GPU peak temp: 74

CPU usage: Average: 42.7% Min: 32.3% Max: 52.3%

GPU usage: Average: 81.9% Min: 62.5% Max: 92.3%

RAM usage: Average: 2.7 GB Min: 2.6 GB Max: 2.8 GB



It may be worth noting the higher CPU and lower GPU usage in Ghost Recon Wildlands with Meltdown/Spectre patches enabled, which may indicate TLB flushing is eating CPU cycles and bottlenecking the GPU in this scenario.



TL;DR

Meltdown/Spectre protection patches hit the performance of open-world games particularly hard on pre-Haswell CPUs.

Ovdje su testirali i razlike su bile u jednoj igri, sa drugim intelom čak ni ni u toj jednoj igri...par postotaka razlike.

Ima i razlike koji je OS.
Win 10 navodno bolje podnosi Spectre/Meltdown patcheve.

to ti je ova drugi dio rezultata sto sam stavio post ranije(Win10 Unpatched Win10 Meltdown Patch Win10 Meltdown + Microcode Patch), to je testirano 10.1.2018., ovo iznad gdje su osjetnije razilke je test iz 3.mj.2019. sa dodatnim zakrpama(1809 ver. win10)

Mislim da je Mladenxy pitao za utjecaj Retpoline patch-a.

Intel Tried to Bribe Dutch University to Suppress Knowledge of MDS Vulnerability

Dutch publication Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant reports that Intel offered to pay the researchers a USD $40,000 "reward" to allegedly get them to downplay the severity of the vulnerability, and backed their offer with an additional $80,000. The team politely refused both offers.

A i jesu se isprsili s ponudom

[Gigi1]

Trebali su im travuljagu umjeso para ponudit, bolje bi prosli

[Mladenxy]

Treba pričekati da netko relevantan napravi nove testove, po ovim prethodnim zakrpama nije se izgubilo praktički ništa za kućnog korisnika.

Osobno nisam ništa osjetio a windowsi se krpaju redovno kao i biosi na zadnje verzije.

Intel i plave kuverte?
Ne mogu vjerovat.

Noviji hardver još i relativno dobro podnosi sve te zakrpane peripetije, ali nažalost Sandy, Ivy, Haswell i Broadwell znaju pokleknuti, a još uvijek se koriste.

[Gigi1]

Ali i na novijima su razlike vece nakon 1809 ak sam dobro skuzio piskaranja po netu jer su dodatne zakrpe tad metnuli

Kroz koji tjedan ce se znat sto je s ovim zadnjim failom, kako te zakrpe utjecu na perf.

[Mladenxy]

Kažu ovdje

https://www.pcgamesn.com/intel/zombi...on-performance

Intel’s benchmarks suggest only a marginal decrease in within some tasks while Zombieload mitigations are in place.
Within the company’s in-house testing, a Core i9 9900K with HyperThreading enabled drops 3% performance in WebXPRT 3 testing. At best, it gained 1% within SPECint_rate_base 2017 (1 copy) testing.

Problem je ovo gašenje HT-a dok ne izdaju mikrokodove.

[thunderbird]

Je, a intelovim in-houe testiranjima je baš za vjerovati kao objektivnima i neovisnima

[The Exiled]

Kak god se okrene daleko je ovo od zajebancije koje će se "riješiti" hrpom zakrpa, koje pak same po sebi nisu nikakvo rješenje - pogotovo, ako se gubi dobar dio funkcionalnosti.

The full mitigation, which includes disabling hyper-threading, prevents information leakage across threads and when transitioning between kernel and user space, which is associated with the MDS vulnerabilities for both local and remote (web) attacks. Testing conducted by Apple in May 2019 showed as much as a 40 percent reduction in performance with tests that include multithreaded workloads and public benchmarks. Performance tests are conducted using specific Mac computers. Actual results will vary based on model, configuration, usage, and other factors.
