- The GN piece makes it very clear that this claim is not definitely true but is a line of inquiry.
- Intel statement does not definitely exclude this hypothesis, the flawed CPU might need the lower voltage to work around the flaw.
- The obvious question this article does not address is what will be the performance hit for the patched parts?
That’s a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.
So … you have to remove your CPU cooler to open the case? That does not look very convenient.
