    My 7800x3d is incredible, I won’t be going back to Intel any time soon.

        tldr: Flaw can give a hacker access to your computer only if they have already bypassed most of the computer’s security.

        This means continue not going to sketchy sites.

        Continue not downloading that obviously malicious attachment.

        Continue not being a dumbass.

        Proceed as normal.

        Because if a hacker got that deep your system is already fucked.

          It’s more serious than normal because if your PC ever gets owned, a wipe and reinstall will not remove the exploit.

          “Nissim sums up that worst-case scenario in more practical terms: “You basically have to throw your computer away.””

        I’m not that worried about it effecting me lol, i would be more concerned about my intel cpu dying, especially since it’s been around for decades.
