Amd wants to prevent the intel bug from damaging its processors
Table of contents:
After knowing that Intel's processors are affected by a major bug whose solution is marketed by its performance, we now know that AMD seeks to avoid the patch that solves it by being its processors completely safe, at least as far as this topic is concerned.
AMD wants to prevent its processors from being affected by the Intel bug
Given this major problem with Intel processors, kernel-level software patches have been released to mitigate this vulnerability, but this represents a performance loss of up to 35%. This is important at all levels, but especially in large data centers that use many processors, so the relationship between energy consumed and performance plummets.
AMD has done a better job on its R yzen, Opteron, and EPYC processors that do not have this vulnerability but whose performance is affected by kernel patches that have been released with an Intel in mind.
Well, it has been seen that the code introduced in these updates causes all x86 processors to be patched, regardless of the manufacturer or model. Logically this hurts an AMD that sees how the performance of its processors is unnecessarily weighed down, since they do not need the application of this patch to be safe.
For now, AMD's requests would be being rejected, hopefully it will change since it is totally illogical and unfair that its processors are affected by someone else's problem, in the end, those affected are the users who see how their equipment performs less than it should.
Xiaomi wants to build its own processors and get rid of qualcomm
Rumors indicate that Xiaomi wants to build its own processors and get rid of Qualcomm. Xiaomi may not have Qualcomm for chips again.
Malware uses a feature of Intel processors to steal data and prevent firewalls

Microsoft wants to prevent you from installing an alternative browser to edge
Microsoft Edge has a reputation for being the browser you use to download Chrome or Firefox, something that Microsoft clearly doesn't like. For Microsoft it takes a new step to convince users to use their Edge browser and not one of the competition.
