I wonder what implications this will have on those who run Intel in their gaming rigs. I'm due to refresh, and _was_ gonna invest in Intel as my CPU. But this seems pretty damning for that.
I assume the system calls to interact with the GPU, or to do any sort of I/O, are going to incur the performance overhead. So rendering frames, reading/writing from the network, and loading assets from the disk could all cause issues.
And this is just for gaming. Anyone using a cloud provider that's running on Intel needs to worry about similar things.
Only thing that would keep me from jumping is lack of auto insurance as well, but I understand NOT being in to that business.
I hope they do well.
