Intel 8th Gen With Vega Benchmarks & Full Specs Leak | Western Digital Backdoor Found In Drives
350Slides of the upcoming Intel 8th generation core processors with AMD's Radeon RX vega gpus have been leaked out onto the internet. The Radeon RX Vega M GH graphics is by far the most powerful, with the chip putting out about 3.5TFLOPS of compute performance, thanks to almost a 1200mhz clock speed and 24 compute units. It is just slightly faster than an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 MaxQ design graphics card, which puts questions as to what Nvidia will release over the next several months.
The RISC-V foundation have released a statement, pushing their own technologies and ISA in the wake of the X86 Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilites, which are a result of the speculative execution of these chips.
Finally, Western Digital have a major exploit within their My Cloud Drives, which can easily grant a rogue user full access to the drive and inject commands.
