This week there has been talk about a revision of the AMD Ryzen 5000 desktop processors (Vermeer) on the way to deliver faster turbo clocks. It wasn't very clear, but some expected a B2 revision, spotted in the wild, to refine AMD's current offerings in some way or be instrumental in adding faster 'XT' variants to the lineup. Perhaps to stop the gossip getting out of hand, an AMD official provided a statement to Polish tech news site Benchmark.pl, and to Tom's Hardware, hopefully stamping out any misunderstanding about the B2 revision. Current Ryzen 5000 chips are on the B0 revision, but hard...

No.” Sorry to shoot that one down for 1080 Ti fans. 10:52 | Hong Kong Customs Seized Smuggled GPUs Hong Kong news station TVB News re...

Shutterstock Patch management is far easier said than done, and security teams may often be forced into prioritising fixes for several business-critical systems, all released at once. It’s become typical, for example, to expect dozens of patches to be released on Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday, with other vendors also routinely getting in on the act. Below, IT Pro has collated the most pressing disclosures from the last seven days, including details such as a summary of the exploit mechanism, and whether the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild. This is in order to give teams a sense ...

The mention of Spectre and Meltdown is enough to send chills down any InfoSec spine. A number of these batches of security vulnerabilities deal with speculative execution, and how a processor might leak data while executing code in a speculative manner. This week AMD has pre-empted the security space by detailing a potential security concerns regarding its new Zen 3-based Predictive Store Forwarding feature designed to improve code performance by predicting dependencies between loads and stores. AMD is clear to point out that most users will not need to take any action, as the risk for genera...
