      Nvidia may be trying to prevent GeForce GPUs from being used in data centers!

      We stopped using NVIDIA. We just use AMD now. We get better performance from our RHEL workstations and they cost much less.

      Really? On what systems?

      I bet CAD stations or similar engineering type things.

      Ya z840/440 workstations. For FEA and CFD work.

      Also a handful of Dells with NVMe drives but I forget which model workstation.

          AMD processors are affected by a patch meant for Intel systems. . . and Microsoft is mums-the-world about the whole thing. . .

            Not sure why Microsoft couldn't detect if you are using Intel or AMD processors and then turn off when its a AMD processor.

                Microsoft involved. Logic does not exist in that world.

                  Because AMD is affected by the part that Windows has to add.

                    Hmmm... why is the OS patching for Intel at all, rather than pushing the microcode?

                      MS has some really insideous deals with Intel. They easy have no choice but to cripple themselves on AMD to meet their deal made with Intel.
