Last week, Microsoft published its initial report on the performance impact that will be seen on the Windows PCs after installing the Meltdown and Spectre security issue related fixes. Microsoft said that PCs running Windows 10 on newer silicon (2016-era PCs with Skylake, Kabylake or newer CPU) will see single-digit slowdowns and most users will not notice it because these percentages are reflected in milliseconds. Later, Intel published their own results after testing the performance impact of their security fixes with almost same numbers.
Today, Intel published more information on the progress they have made regarding the release of fixes for these issues and the performance impact of these fixes during server workloads.
While Intel has now issued firmware updates for 90 percent of Intel CPUs introduced in the past five years, some customers have reported more frequent reboots on firmware updated systems. Intel is now investigating these issues and working on fixes for the same. Intel also said that these fixes may cause up to 25% performance impact on certain server workloads. Read the summary on performance impact below.
