@waxzce: "FYI, as cloud provider we rawly loss around 25% of CPU performances the lasts 18 months due to different CVE and issues on CPU and mitigation limiting capacity using microcode, so we stuff more CPUs, but prices didn't go down at all... That's a kind of upselling. #IntelFail"


Is it #IntelFail if Intel had supply issues in last year? It doesn't look like demand was affected by much.


Any way you slice it it's an Intel Fail. They've basically had to lower the performance of their existing chips, they've failed on the road map for new chips, and they don't have capacity for more of the existing chips because they thought 14nm would be winding down by now rather than peak production.
