AMD Releases Linux Kernel Patch to Disable PSF on Zen 3 CPUs to Fix Spectre v4-Like Vulnerabilityedit

A while back, AMD released a whitepaper stating that the newly launched Zen 3 based Ryzen 5000 processors may be vulnerable to Spectre-like side-channel attacks due to the presence of Predictive Store Forwarding (PSF). This feature improves performance by executing instructions ahead of time by predicting the target location of loads from cache memory ahead of time. This, however, can be used by attackers if there’s a bad prediction wherein the data is dumped and the pipeline is flushed.

NVIDIA GTX 1650 Super vs AMD RX 5500 XT: Which one Should you Buy? (PROACTIVE)edit

NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX 1650 Super to address the shortcomings of the vanilla 1650. The Super was faster than both the RX 570 as well as the GTX 1060. AMD’s answer was the Radeon RX 5500 XT. Initially, the 8GB variant was priced the same as the GeForce GTX 1660, making it a hard pass, while the 4GB model costed the same as the GTX 1650 Super. Recently, however, AMD has started phasing out the latter in favor of the former with reduced pricing. Now, you can snag the Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB for as low as $179, the same as the GTX 1650 Super which is limited to half as much memory.

Intel Core i7-11700K Priced Higher than the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X in South Asia Despite Being Sloweredit

If you have been paying attention to the PC market, you’ll know that Intel’s 11th Gen lineup, most notably the Core i7-11700K are now selling for lower than their MSRP, just a week after they were officially launched. The 11700K is going for $404.99 on Newegg, nearly $50 less than the competing AMD Ryzen 7 5800X which makes sense considering that the latter is faster in just about everything. However, the Rocket Lake offerings do pretty well in gaming workloads, more or less leveling with the Ryzen competition.
