Excited by the 10 and 7 nm process of building Intel and AMD chips, but tired of all the security issues that upon patching like @Drew Dowdell stated sucks the power away.

I am surprised no one has pushed to force Intel and AMD to recall chips and replace with newer ones that give the power plus the security.

Having to turn off hyperthreading on older servers really reduces the life of the machines.

Especially if you are running vSphere or any other suite of software from VMware.

rumor for next year's zen3 is; they might increase threads per core to 3, possibly 4.
