New performance comparison with intel mds patches

New performance tests are emerging to compare the impact patches have on MDS vulnerabilities.
New performance comparison of Intel MDS with and without patches
This time we can see a series of tests in different benchmarks and under Intel and AMD processors. These are the Intel Core 6800K, 8700K, 7900XE, Ryzen 2700X, and the Threadripper 2990WX.
Memcached performance continues to have a major impact on tested Intel systems compared to the minor impact on AMD hardware.
The same goes for the Nginx web server.
The JetStream 2 JavaScript benchmark saw 2-3% lower performance with AMD systems, while Intel systems with their default patches drop 10% or more.
If we look at the average of the tests performed by Phoronix , all Intel systems saw a 16% drop in performance from the first moment with these patches and obviously even lower if Hyper Threading (SMT) is disabled to get the maximum security.

The two AMD systems tested had an impact of only 3% performance with the default security patches. Although there are small differences between the systems to consider, the impact of the patches is enough to bring the Core i7 8700K much closer to the Ryzen 7 2700X and the Core i9 7980XE to the Threadripper 2990WX.
The security patches for Windows 10 have been available for a few days and may already be installed on your system if you have Windows Update activated.
