Yea I hear ya, AMD says it won't effect their speeds (hooray for our video cards GPU's) but, we run Intel CPU's i5,i7 Gen 2-6 and we're getting vendor's emails disclaimers already saying "its out of their control"......Geeesh, we'll see.
Intel claims speed reduction will mitigate over time, only affect "some operations" and avg Joe's won't see any diff.
Not so sure we'll see much of a slow down here (no super computers here), just Kernel intense operations (program dependent I assume) I reckon will show the brunt of the slow down based on my understandings of the issue/patch.
