The Ongoing CPU Security Mitigation Impact On The Core i9 10900K Comet Lake
For some real-world workloads like GIMP and RawTherapee, there is a more pronounced difference on prior generations of Intel CPUs lacking hardware mitigations.
Via the various kernel micro-benchmarks with Stress-NG is a look at the impact of the mitigations still for Comet Lake with the context switching hit being a particular doozy.
