RE: Possible Cause For Steem.Supply Performance Issues
I thought that Intel's bug was only a security flaw. Didn't know it also affected performance. Do you know which generation of chips this affects?
I currently have an old i3
That's not yet known, here's more info: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/261364-massive-intel-cpu-bug-leaves-kernel-vulnerable-reduce-performance
This affects all processors from the past decade.
The fixes has not rolled out yet, so it should not be affecting performance just yet.
There's 2 different security flaws. Meltdown impacts every single Intel processor since 1995 (basically everything since the Pentium 2) while Spectre impacts pretty much every processor from all companies (AMD, Intel, and even the ARM chips in phones, tablets, etc.)
