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

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 ;)

I installed the update and it turns out that kernel VA shadow is off.

 

No wonder it's not having any performance impact.

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 :-(

    • Yes, and the reason is the defaults is has. The masses have no interest to change settings etc. It feels cluttered by default. The default home/NTP feels cluttered with so much stuff from MSN. The sidebar has too many buttons with Microsoft services. The default search engine is Bing. Just compare Edge defaults with Chrome defaults. The masses open Edge or are "forced" to open it, they don't like what they see and close it and go back to Chrome.

    • This was cool back in the day when done properly - loved having icons of specific devices.
    • Microsoft quietly burying a massive Windows 7 hardware driver feature as Windows 11 kills it by Sayan Sen Last month Microsoft announced a big update for Windows hardware drivers. The company declared that it was killing Windows Device metadata and the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS). For those wondering what it is, device metadata, as the name suggests, is the collection of additional, user-facing information that an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides about a hardware device. The feature was introduced with Windows 7 and can include stuff like icons, logos, descriptive texts, among other things, that help the Windows UI display details about such devices in places like Task Manager or Device Manager. This was a huge deal back in the day when Windows 7 debuted. The company called the feature "Device Stage" and Microsoft described it as a "new visual interface" that essentially worked like a "multi-function version of Autoplay where it displays all the applications, services, and information related to your device." It is often considered synonymous with the Windows "Devices and Printers" Control Panel applet. Neowin did an in-depth overview of the feature when it first launched which you can find in its dedicated article here. The Windows OS was able to obtain the device experience metadata from the WMIS, but now that the feature is being deprecated, Microsoft has begun removing information about Device Stage from its official support documents. Neowin noticed while browsing that a support article regarding automatic Windows hardware drivers was updated for Windows 11 and 10 sometime last year after the release of Windows 11 24H2. Previously, this article was geared for Windows 7 and was much longer. It also contained information about Device Stage, which, as mentioned above, was a headlining feature on Windows 7. In the said article, the section "If Windows can't find information about your device in Device Stage" has been deleted. You can find the archived version of the support page here. Aside from shortening the amount of information on the page, Microsoft has also added some more details on it. The company has now tried to define what the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is, how updating drivers through Device Manager works, as well as a thorough and detailed troubleshooting section for common hardware driver errors on Windows, including one for USB-C. You can find all the new details on the updated support page here on Microsoft's website.
