Overall slightly slower with some benches, Cinema 4D benches.....anyones guess! :p

 

before and after had all the same processes running and apps, what i have noticed however, Asus AI Suite 3 wont run :p

 

btw Webroot Secure anywhere working no problem at all post patch,

Tried some differnet benchmark software which didn't give the greatest info, but you can see the results.

It’s in the realm of measurement accuracy/error.

Maybe for Windows. It’s real in Linux.

Hardly thorough benchmarking but both higher than before patch....go figure!

 

I would like to see some benchies submitted with AMD chips for a more rounded dataset tbh.

 

Teacup, meet storm ;)

No wonder it's not having any performance impact.

Expand  

good info to know mate, thank you.

The reason why older CPUs see a larger performance hit is the absence of PCID. PCID mostly mititgates the performance hit. Not sure how far it goes back (haswell maybe?), but seventh and 8th gen Intel CPUs should not feel the burn.

Further research and discussion with co-workers on my end  has shown that unless the process/app/whatever is making sys calls, it’s not going to make much of a difference.

I also read something similar, the performance hit is only when making sys calls, so a VM would potentially have a performance decline, correct?

ill get back to you on that tomms mate, I set up a W10 VM and 2k16 server VM for testing at work before leaving today. On Lenovo X Series hosts running Esxi 6. (12 Xeons per host)

 

corpwide were assessing and deciding if its worth pushing the patch out, Sec dir above us reckons while its a stinker, it doesnt pose any real world threat to our global estate at this point in time. for one the systems need to be compromised before this is even a "thing", games already lost at that point.

yep, im the same, grasping some of it, but bowing to my Sec teams superior knowledge in this field, im just helping them spread the workload, cos im nice like that (and im whoring myself to Global Corp Sec team for a new role with them from home :P)

 

im sick of going into an office and dealing with retarded end losers directly as well as server/site adm work (which i love!), im getting too old to enjoy juggling multiple roles at a single site, and my boss is an inept A-hole :p but thats another story!

 

might even post a soapbox article on todays events re: NTP settings and synching issues, i was without words when i discovered what had been setup. put it this way, in general Default GPO holds every policy estate wide....no just no!! /faceplant! thats a starter for 10 in what i discovered!

Nah mate, tried reinstalling and no dice. no new version atm either. meantime ive set it all up in bios manually, inc fan tuning.

 

Ive emailed Asus support to notify them of my findings.

Strange that AsusFanControlService is still running in the background so at least I got that :-) I just cant get the GUI to open :-(

    • This guy is just salty that Waymo is about to get buried by a company with cars that cost significantly less, charge significantly lower fares, and will soon dramatically outnumber their fleet. Waymo made the mistake of not reducing their vehicle cost quick enough and not overcoming their route limitations. Unless they start allowing their cars to use the freeways and have significantly wider geofencing, they're going to soon join the list of discontinued Google products. If Tesla wasn't the one to make them irrelevant, somebody else soon was. There's a long list of companies designing robotaxis right now.
    • LOL. Hard to believe people still fall for this. If you are having some sort of issue, I would work on fixing that instead turning off these settings.
    • That is a great option for compatibility, but in my opinion, that isn't the future. Xorg/Xserver is outdated with massive security holes and limitations built into the core design, which cannot be easily fixed. The reason Wayland exists is because it was apparent that no one had the resources/will to revamp Xorg, so it was basically put into a support only mode until it was eventually abandoned. Yes, X11Libre has taken up the mantal, but I don't expect to see anything from them other than basic support.
    • I agree with your frustrations, but after nearly a decade of Wayland ideologs debating how software they don't write should work...its time to rip the band aid of X11 off and let Wayland sink or swim on its own. Its not like Linux can just fail at this point, so devs will flock together to find solutions. It is my opinion that a lot of these silly debates about things like window decorations take place because they can. People feel like they have time to have these academic conversations to "get it right." However, the conversation will change very quickly when the issue is "###### don't work." People will quickly find fixes once we are forced into that mode. I draw a parallel to the infancy of the internet going public in the late 1980s. It became quickly apparent that IPv4 really wasn't up to the task. The ivory tower response to the issues was basically "your doing it wrong, you shouldn't want that" while debating long-off solutions like IPv6. Then some rando cames along and invited NAT, the standards people saw it as an abomination and absolutely refused to include it. He didn't care, sold the product anyway under the name PIX, which he later sold to Cisco. It was not only a massive success, but it changed the entire concept of the internet, basically inventing the idea of public and privet addresses, which totally reformed the way the internet works. The standards guys were forced to adopt it once they realized it was impossible to put the cat back in the bag.
