These people are going to create artificial intelligence? They can’t even make a processor work right, let alone the software that runs on it.

Hang on a bit till we know more.
If this is related to Intel Vpro, 90% of systems out there are not effected as they don’t use Vpro.

My question is always, Did an H1B visa employee do this? Before I retired I had to monitor everything they did.

This is a very big deal and will substantially impact Intel’s stock and future revenues.
This is a long-term short opportunity.

>>These people are going to create artificial intelligence?
The people who write viruses, malware, and adware algorithms are probably more likely to create AI first. This is just another reason why they should be hanged immediately as horse thieves were when caught.

A bug?
My guess is that was a feature.
Brought to you by the US government.

Ok, the race is on. Will Apple fix theirs before Microsoft.
Who’s OS will take the biggest hit in speed.
To: Red Badger
This is why I’m still running PowerPC based xServes to run websites.
Justified!

The problem started with upper management back 7 years ago.
To save $, they outsourced validation to Costa Rica and fired all the experienced validation engineers in Portland.
Middle management was forced by threats of termination to make it happen.
Rumors were dancing around back 1.5 years ago they had an issue.

Makes me really happy I always buy AMD processors.
To: Red Badger
The guys at AMD must be doing handstands right now.
