With 90% of the space on this topic being provided by fans praising or trashing manufacturers was looking for a space dedicated to real world user impacts and solutions. AMD has already acknowledged being affected by the second variant of Spectre and Im really not interested in blamestorming or that if i was doing {isert thing I definitely am not doing] reduces poerformance by 18.765 %. What I am interested in is the reality of the impact on users ... what patches include "the fixes'" so if desired they can be avpoided so one can avoid Read a lot about how this affects the VM space, large servers and such but little about the CAD station in my office, little about my son's flight sim box, little about this patch was installed on my (insert hardware specs) box and I don't notice / I did notice this. What are the potential real world downsides to not patching in the desktop space ? Agaon not really interested in how much better off / worse we'd be witha different CPU, just about impacts of what happening w/o patch or w/o patch., how to avois if desired and before / after
