Well this was never really the claim. The 30% thing comes from cases where the computer is reading hard drives in tiny intervals constantly. Which the average user is unlikely to do. It could be detrimental to datacentres who purchase huge amounts of CPUs and ultimately affect the price.

I wonder if datacenters will switch to AMD now.

The ponit of mentioning the 30% for users was because sensationalism sells.

Re: Intel silicon bug to affect VM SH3?
There are reports that computers running intel with Windows 7,8.1will see the greatest % hit as well as intel Haswell and earlier cpus.
Nvidia have just released drivers in support of the issues. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/nvidia...ews-57697.html
It would be nice to have a single thread on this meltdown, spectre issue as it affects so many different products.

Highly unlikely, that would cost far too much, and affect performance.
Besides which AMD are affected by one of the two issues anyway.

Well they are unlikely to replace existing machines, but they may start purchasing AMD for new machines.
