I'm dumb. Can somebody please confirm that i7-7700k is not affected, I see a bunch of Kaby Lakes on there, what's Kaby Lake S?
edit: looks like i7-7700k is Kaby Lake S.
I'm pretty sure the 8008 is fine.
I'm dumber, can you tell me how to find the numbers after the dash? Mine is an i5, that's all I know.
Edit: On linux. Sorry, should've specified, I'm so used to everyone on lemmy running linux lol.
'Nother edit: i5-5200U, "Broadwell-U" version. So looks like I'm good (and this pc is 5yr newer than I thought lol.)
cat /proc/cpuinfo It's verbose, but it should also list the known processor vulnerabilities that are already worked around by the kernel
Thank you!
Check out the processor in Task Manager's Performance tab
Linux! But thanks!
Well I had expected someone running linux to know that lol
Well you expect wrong! Lol tbh it isn't often I need to know the specific model of processor I have, typically "sticker says i5" works just fine, but this time not so much lol.
I don't know how much you care about this, but even within each product class (i5, i7, etc) there can be a huge performance delta between specific models, especially in laptop chips. The same applies to AMD.
This will be a concern next time I buy (or build) a pc, but this laptop is a "Hey Ma, do you still have that old laptop you don't use from 2010? I wanna try linux" machine.
Turns out after I installed Fedora I was never able to stop using it since it is so much better than windows so now I'm going on year 2 of "shit I guess I don't really need to upgrade if it works this well!" Lol
Probably search files/run in the start menu, then type dxdiag
That's what it normally is on Windows, I can't remember the Linux command
On linux, but thanks anyway!
inxiIn the terminal should do it
Thank you!
Isn't the i7-7700k a kaby lake processor?
It is, but I was a little confused by the list as it doesn't list models in that format. Just found this page that confirms that Kaby Lake S does indeed include the i7 7700k.
Mother. Fucker.
