Now I'm curious if they'll be able to push the rudimentary 5% improvement even though their patches cost them 5% of power right now. Upgrade to get last year's performance at the time when last year's CPU was released doesn't sound very tempting at all...:D

How about Meltdown? Can it be fixed via hardware without needing firmware level protection or would that need redesigning the architecture?
Not implying anything, just curious.

I love how "we're fixing our broken shit" turns into "it's protected against" in marketing. It's like shipping a car that randomly explodes, and then in the new model you're saying "we're so awesome, the new car is even better than the old one, it's protected against randomly exploding."

And of course the "NEW" cpus will have this protection built-in, so run out and grab you one. I am still hopeful for a proper fix for my 4790k.

Why are all of the comments here negative while all of the comments in the thread where AMD announced the same thing (they are fixing it in their next cpu uarch release) positive?
