2023.08.16 Doomed! 🚨🚨 AMD (Windows update) to force all modern CPUs this week to use CPU math slow-down INCEPTION security patch for a hilarious hacker exploit reported anonymously on most AMD chips, allowing machine takeover by hackers. Slower now! Time to buy NEW 2024 AMD CPUS?🚨

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:

TODAY 2023.08.16 AMD Zen 1 too! (AMD lied last week) :

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.

Not sure why people are hating. This is practical and relevant information.

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
