Gigabyte Teams Up With Intel On Side-Channel Vulnerabilities

Gigabyte Teams Up With Intel To Upgrade Security Against New Derivatives of Side-Channel Vulnerabilities
Update To The Newest Gigabyte BIOS To Protect Your System

Gigabyte has taken the initiative and is continuously working with Intel to develop the most up-to-date security solutions to protect users against Variant 4 and Variant 3a, new derivatives of the side channel methods previously disclosed in January 2018. Gigabyte is committed to fulfilling the highest standards for quality and service of its motherboards. Any issue such as user security that may affect the user’s experience with Gigabyte motherboards is of the utmost importance so updates will be released in a timely manner.

The new BIOS will implement the latest safety-certified microcode update to provide the best protection for users’ systems. Additional BIOS solutions and updates will be released in the coming weeks. Gigabyte strongly recommends users to visit the Gigabyte official website to stay up-to-date on the latest BIOS updates and information.

I'd be interested in seeing a review from someone on the performance effect of the different BIOS patches. Previous microcode/OS Spectre patches reduced CPU performance by about 3% (Skylake), I'd like to see what the performance hit is of these new upcoming patches against the 'more newly' found types of Spectre attacks.

On this site ill be posting a review of what I saw to be the biggest performance hit, the Optane drives. I did some quick checking a while back and 4KQ1T1 dropped 25% post patching.

I will be testing the 900P on 1709 + old BIOS and then on up to date 1803 + new BIOS. I should be doing the workstation build sometimes this week.

Good stuff, are you gonna provide a link to it in this thread? Are you talking about testing the patches for the latest Spectre vulnerabilities discussed in this article (not the old ones)? Will you be doing CPU performance tests too, that's more interesting to me personally? I know that Optane and the very fast M2 PCIe SSDs already take a big hit in performance with even the current Spectre patches.

I'll make a note of this thread so I can link it. The test will be very simple, OS + BIOS before any of these patches started and OS + BIOS 100% up to date.

I will see what I have time for when it comes to other testing, the disk access is the one that will be the worst hit from I have seen and there wont even be a close second.

More like Gigabyte teaming with Intel to sell more motherboards, cuz all i see is H370, B360, Z370 and X299.

Sucks to be you Gigabyte because next round it will be ASUS for me.
