Continuing his reverse-engineering of the Intel 8087, [Ken Shirriff] covers the conditional tests that are implemented in the microcode of this floating point processing unit (FPU). This microcode ...
A hot potato: Users with 13th- and 14th-generation Intel desktop processors should begin checking for BIOS updates from their motherboard providers. A new microcode update fixes edge cases that can ...
Security researchers have uncovered a critical vulnerability in AMD Zen CPUs that allows attackers with elevated privileges to load malicious microcode patches, bypassing cryptographic signature ...
The Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) function of AMD server processors is less secure than the name suggests: Google researchers found that Epyc processors are sloppy when it comes to signature ...
AMD and Google's Security Team have disclosed a major microcode vulnerability affecting all AMD EPYC processors built on the Zen 1 through Zen 4 architectures. That means EPYC 7001 (Naples), 7002 ...
When AMD finally issued patches for its critical microcode security hole on Monday, it said that the glitch 'could lead to the loss of Secure Encrypted Virtualization protection.' AMD on Monday issued ...
AMD has confirmed an unpatched “processor vulnerability” that may require CISOs to isolate their systems or even air gap them until there’s a fix. AMD has had to confirm the existence of a major ...
truehighroller1What about how it compares to the 13900k? I'm still rocking a good binned one so I don't want to upgrade because it'd be a waste of money. They're identical products, it's just that ...
Tests by users with an ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard indicate that Intel's latest firmware update for the Arrow Lake CPU series provides only minor performance improvements. The firmware, known ...
The Intel Core Ultra 200S CPUs initially suffered from a weakness in single-threaded applications. A microcode update now solves the performance problem. The BIOS updates make this workaround ...
