How else will they make you buy A new system.
They cannot let you have the hardware as is, no that's "insecure".
I'm just blown away at how much the performance dropped, is there some sick mitigation they baked into the new firmware? Because I don't know how anyone could defend Intel in the Coffee Lake era and actually pay big money for this shit, I just bought a used chip and board on the cheap.
It's spectre mitigations. I disable all that doodoo. I want my CPU running at the speed I paid for. NSA already knows what I fap to.
God this is bullshit, I can't even revert, I downloaded the F2 bios from feb 2018 I had, but it won't let me revert it.
Also frick Intel, the performance of my shitty old AMD rig dropped 2.5% in Cinebench R15 when I moved to Windows 10 2H22 from 7 last year
>It's spectre mitigations. I disable all that doodoo. I want my CPU running at the speed I paid for. NSA already knows what I fap to.
How do you disable it??? It's not like there is a setting in the bios to enable/disable this...
isn't it a registry key in wangblows
mitigations=off
fortunately Cinebench is a useless program with no real world use except for dick measuring
It is a big deal when my computer's dick is having a 13% reduction in length, Anon.
Anon might be a "she" so they don't understand why it might be a bad thing.
*intel employee joins the chat*
I love how he says that, especially when during 14nm lakes vs Ryzen, the 10% difference benchmarks are what people would use to justify Intel's existence.
updating the bios resets all settings to default you tard. go back and tweak it for max performance
My BIOS was reset to defaults homie, it's a non overclockable chip, the XMP 2666 is turned on and everything
don't cheap out on motherboard next time
It's not too cheap, It's a homiebyte B360 with a 65w i7 in it, the thing sustains 4Ghz all core all day long by itself, it's just now it's performing like it's single core score of 187 times 6 cores and hyperthreading doesn't exist because intel doesn't know how to make anything without security flaws.
>gigabyte
known garbage aids brand. a motherboard update shouldn't have
downgraded your performance. as windows should load updated microcode/firmware andor have in place os mitigations anyway
you basically have to resort to workstation or server class stuff
to avoid being treated like a gayming goy
latest generations of consumer stuff is even worse
>i7-8700
>6yo processor
>I've been cheated out of performance!
stop being poor.
I'm literally getting cheated out of performance Anon, how do you explain my previous scores from the original 2018 F2 BIOS? Even the multi core speedup is reduced as if it was a CPU without hyperthreading, the score went from a 6.53x scale to a damn near a perfect 6x multiplication of the single thread score.
It's basically performing like it doesn't have hyperthreading anymore after I updated the bios.
Disable Spectre/Meltdown protection, disable Core Isolation.
I have a powershell script for spectre but I'm not on my machine right now.
Also make sure your cpu min and max power is at 100% in power settings.
She's running full blast and everything Anon, nothing has changed from what I was doing previously, even the single thread is still good on it, but the whole point of a 12 thread CPU over an i5 is the speedup you get, and I'm on an updated 10 2H22, I'll just deal with Intel's stupidity, it's my first Intel since the Q6600, and it is technically faster and uses less energy than what I had previously, but my god is Coffee Lake a shit show, I was out of the PC building loop for years, but holy shit, luckily I threw together this rig for nothing, I couldn't imagine building a coffee lake meme computer back in 2018 when cards were threw the roof, RAM was $300 a 16 gig kit, and there's security flaws.
>im on an updated
on an un-updated 2H22***

Here's the spectre regedits. If you are scared you can google it up.
Would this even do anything? I'm on the same OS I was that had updates for when the spectre was a thing, even my craptastic AMD CPU from 2011 took a slight performance hit, so there were mitigations, but it didn't tank the performance to hell, it has to be baked into the bios to perform worse.
You could also take out the cpu and microwave it. It'll harden the connections.
>Disabling Spectre/Meltdown protection
Anon... maybe think twice about this one.
morons like you should only own game consoles.
No exploits for it found in the wild, ever.
>see, nobody walked in on my door despite losing my key at the club with my home address written on it, I sleep peacefully at nights even
It has countless variations and example codes since ages.
Though script kiddies will not really bother with it, its more interesting at serverfarms and virtual machines.
A better example would be vaccine herd immunity. If 99% of people get the vaccine, I don't really need to get it, because searching for the 1% that don't have mitigations enabled is a waste of time.
>i7-8700
>being "cheated" out of 10% performance that isn't noticeable in anything but a benchmark
>not at all concerned about security
>1050 videocard
You have bigger problems then you realize.
This while build was about power efficiency anon, and the 1050Ti is based as shit, performs like my old 7970 did and uses less than 1/3 the energy, same with the i7 8700, my old rig wasn't struggling either to be daily shutposting rig, but when I saw DDR4 become $25 per 16 gig kit on ebay, and coffee lake stuff being sold for nothing, I definitely jumped on it, I put prime 95 on with turbo off, and that damn CPU was using 61W worst case scenario conpared to 130w my old cpu was using , while scoring 1,009 on cinebench, a 55% increase over what I had.
>Five generations old
>New computers
It's a new-ish computer Anon, anything with a TPM built into the b***h, and a 14nm++++++ CPU that they kept refreshing until 2020 is damn near a new computer, let's not bullshit ourselves and act like these people have been giving ass real IPC boosts, and not just cranking the shit out of clockspeeds the best few years.
Attempting bios downgrade from 2023 release to a 2021 release, hope this fixes it.
>bench it with everything default xmp off
>score is way higher than it was
Wtf is going on here, I just did my single bench and now it's like how it was, 1240-1300 ish score depending on what turbo feels like doing
What did they put in that last Dec 2023 bios?
>What did they put in that last Dec 2023 bios?
see
gigabyte is a total joke
Such a shame, because my last mobo was a 990FX Gigabyte and that thing was the best I've ever had, overclocked to hell and just never did anything weird, but at least my lowly B360 is fixed, pulling 6.5x thread scaling again, I knew something was up.
Power management. They thought you might want to save electricity, but you'd rather run benchmarks, you're not a normal costumer.
I'm not even a huge benchgay, but I figured a motherboard wouldn't get WORSE, they thought they'd sneakfrick me, but they didn't know my autism misses nothing.
I wouldn't worry about it, benchmarks don't mean shit. Try a game, compiling, or unzipping and see if it's any worst.
The system feels fine, but Cinebench R15 is a gives you a very good idea, on my old rig I could point out instability of my score went down because of the cores downclocking due to insufficient voltage.
>secure boot on by default
Remind me what that shit does again?
Secure boot is a meme, just tie your fricking shoelaces anon
If the system was working why would you update the bios?
I figured new thing good, never again.
I'll try to mess with if, all I have are active core ratios, but I will mess around further.
Check your power settings, you can change the turbo boost to be active for an undefined amount of time
I'm getting around 1450pts on cinebench with my i7-8700
X570 CHIPSET,
AMD AGESA Version: ComboAM4v2PI 1.2.0.3a
(You can check with HWINFO).
ALL OLD BIOS ARE THE BEST. MOST OF THE TIME.
IGNORE THE UPDATES AND SECURITY SHILLING

And here I thought planned obsolescence was hardware only. It's absolutely crazy just how big of a difference there was after a single day. I hate industrial society.
Cool it with the anti-semitism.
Buying Intel means leaving a tip of your performance in a virtual circumcision ritual like a good golem.
>cofefe lake
>new processor
for you.
the amd ceo is a woman
>cousin of leather jacket man
with chinks, you win.
Or just by having an unpozzed processor which wasn't undermined from the start with zionist speedholes.
its the ~~*mitigations*~~ that you got from the updated microcode&bios that make your cpu slower
Can Intel get anymore ridiculous? I remember back in 2018 people were justifying 9900K, a CPU double the price over a $300 2700X over ridiculously small leads in benchmarks, well here goes another hit in performance.
israeli magic and deceit only got them so far, karma caught up to them thanks to their unethical business tactics and massive frickups.
