Seems to me that the problem is allowing access to the dirty cache. The solution is to clean it and don't allow access until that's been done. This will probably mean more cache is needed and a specialized part of the processor to perform the cleanup but it's a reasonable fix that doesn't need to slow the processor.

Processors without bureaucracy still can be used on systems with a big Access Control to maximize the throughput of processor.

Just turn off the spectre fix to get speed back it's easy takes 1 button to click on the program and restart

¿What do you mean "Intel in 1995"?<br>Out of Order Execution was invented by CDC and IBM for mainframes in the 60's, and the first µProcessor that implemented OoOE (with Tomasoulo's algorithm) was the IBM Power1 in 1991, granted, it was only for FP instructions, but it was the first nonetheless.<br><br>And the first X-86 processor with OoOE was not made by intel, but by NextGen, the Nx586 in 1994, a full year befor the PentiumPro. If anithing, NextGen was acquired by AMD, and their architecture formed the basis for the K6, K7 and K8, so, the merit of "Introducing the Flaw in X86" is inherited by AMD, not Intel.

Video Idea for the next Video: The Intel Atom C2000 series chips that self-destroyed after exactly 18 months.<br>This fiasco is 100% intel's fault.

Made with AI and it sounds like it - best avoided - still at least they are honest about it, even if they are lazy and essentially talentless

Intel is slower than amd for reasons of its meltdown vulnerability which amd doesn't have: anything from ~5% to 25% it seems depending upon workload. Use encryption other than bitlocker and you can save another 5-10% it seems. I don't use either haha. But spectre screws them and us all unless you accept loses on the order of 100s of %!

Why take the time to create a great video and then ruin it with irrelevant visuals? <br>For a minute or two at the beginning I thought this was about a Cyrix processor 🤷♂️
