2023.08.16 Doomed! 🚨🚨 Intel (Windows update) to force all modern CPUs this week to use 50% slow-down DOWNFALL security patch for a hilarious hacker exploit reported over a year ago on most Intel chips, leaking AES 256 crypto keys from vector ram to hackers. Time to buy NEW 2024 Intel CPUS?!🚨

The White Hat hacker gave Intel a year to make a chip patch, got mad, then just now leaked exploits to China, Russia, and people like me. Intel/Microsoft/Linux solution this morning is to cripple all chips, and buy new 2024 chips later! :

🚨The big story is that encryption for 12 months has been a sick joke since hackers knew this on Intel chips.🚨

PCs worldwide after 2023.08.16 patching, are about to get dramatically slower.

Intel SALES DEPARTMENT for 2024 products is pleased by the chip bug.
