Ryzen gang

My 7800x3d is incredible, I won't be going back to Intel any time soon.

Also on the 7800X3D. I think I switched at just the right time. I've been on Intel since the Athlon XP. The next buy would have been 13/14th gen.

tldr: Flaw can give a hacker access to your computer only if they have already bypassed most of the computer's security.

This means continue not going to sketchy sites.

Continue not downloading that obviously malicious attachment.

Continue not being a dumbass.

Proceed as normal.

Because if a hacker got that deep your system is already fucked.

It's more serious than normal because if your PC ever gets owned, a wipe and reinstall will not remove the exploit.

"Nissim sums up that worst-case scenario in more practical terms: “You basically have to throw your computer away.”"

Okay, so what gets permanently "owned?" The BIOS on the motherboard, the CPU? is the GPU also hosed?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The CPU is hosed. I assume the throw away is in reference to laptops or mini PCs where the CPU isn't socketed.

[–] arefx@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago

Yeah the Intel issue is definitely a bigger problem. Imo.

I'm not that worried about it effecting me lol, i would be more concerned about my intel cpu dying, especially since it's been around for decades.

Me who bought AMD cpu and gpu last year for my new rig cause fuck the massive mark up for marginal improvement on last gen stats.

I'm still staying with my 5950X. So many cores!

[–] SuperIce@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Not sure how much longer I'll be using the 5950x tbh. We've reached a point where the mobile processors have faster multicore (for the AI 370) than the 5950X without gulping down boatloads of power.
