Over the past 11 months, the processors running our computers, and in some cases phones, have succumbed to a host of attacks. Bearing names such as Meltdown and Spectre, BranchScope, TLBleed, and Foreshadow, the exploits threaten to siphon some of our most sensitive secrets—say passwords or cryptographic keys—out of the silicon microarchitecture in ways that can’t be detected or stopped by traditi
Enlarge / AMD's Ryzen die. Threadripper has two of these in a multi-chip module. Epyc has four of them. Microsoft will soon be offering virtual machines in its Azure cloud service based on AMD's Epyc processors. The growth of the cloud computing market has, until now, been a success story for Intel's Xeon server processors, as the rise of cloud computing came at the same time as Intel was particul

Fully decked out, it ha
