Holy shit!
A Grey Hat hacker gave AMD unknown months to make a chip patch, then AMD this week clumsily leaked exploit details to China, Russia, and people like me. AMD/Microsoft/Linux solution this morning is to cripple all chips, and buy new 2024 chips later! :
AMD INCEPTION (divide by 0 trick) : New Vulnerability Affecting Zen,Zen2, Zen3, Zen4 With Big archivePerformance Implications:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-INCEPTION https://archive.ph/1Kuj1 TODAY 2023.08.16 AMD Zen 1 too! (AMD lied last week) :
https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Zen-1-Zero-Fix-Again https://archive.ph/IV6AC CVE-2023-20569 :
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2023-20569 https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7005.html Zen,Zen2, Zen3, Zen4 are this morning all screwed, but Zen 1 fixed with simple 0/1 cpu divide every interrupt, not checking EVERY DIVIDE.
The big story is that for months this exploit has left all AMD servers vulnerable due to painful lack of OK solution.
🚨PCs worldwide after 2023.08.16 patching, are about to get dramatically slower.🚨
AMD SALES DEPARTMENT for 2024 products is pleased by the chip bug.

I used to be a huge AMD fangirl til I couldn't ignore how shit and buggy pretty much every AGESA release was on Zen 2. Its just a case of buying from whoever hasn't fucked up royally recently now...
edit: Intel has downfall as well. At this point I suspect they are doing it on purpose to slow down older chips more and more
