What are you plans, Intel guys?

Will you be switching to AMD immediately?
Is there a way to avoid these updates that will cost you 30% performance?
What " vulnerabilities" are we talking about specifically?
Should your avg Joe even care about it?
What does it mean for us!?!
Been needing to upgrade the old 4th gen anyway. I guess I just need to know if i should get a discount 8th gen( assuming they even drop in price) or switch brands.

Hell I was thinking of switching to Intel until I just read that. 
I'll be keeping my AMD

Don’t get too comfortable with that AMD processor. Also the most significant hit is expected to be virtual machines, normal desktop performance is less.

I just bought an 8700K (upgrade from 3770K) over the weekend.
I'm keeping it. The benches I've seen don't show much of a decrease for what I do.

I will continue gaming. MAYBE I will replace my CPU with a newer Intel next year.

My 5960x beats out all AMD CPUs (1800x and below) so I'm sticking with this beast

No.
Its not big of a deal.

What exactly is happening to cause this?

Security breach, the fix they are rolling out appears to reduce the performance up to 30%.

I'll see what Ryzen 2 brings and decide from there.

Not across the board.
Some instances see gains in certain kernel calls. It is weird.

Update doesn't affect gaming.

i'm AMD but yeah this shite doesnt matter honestly

Yeah, my 8700K went from 1568 Geekbench before, to 1499 after the Windows and bios update. Not bad.
Basically a 4.5% compute performance loss. Still lame though.
