Some AMD processors will be vulnerable before the end of the year. Zenbleed vulnerability exists in CPU on Zen 2 architecture
A new vulnerability was discovered in AMD processors, which they called Zenbleed. It was discovered by Google Information Security specialists.
Zenbleed affects AMD processors based on the Zen 2 architecture in all variants. That is, first of all, these are Ryzen 3000 desktop CPUs, but also Epyc Rome, Ryzen Threadripper 3000 and others. The vulnerability allows stealing protected information from the processor, such as encryption keys and user logins. At the same time, the attack does not require physical access to a computer or server and can even be performed via javascript on a web page.
Probably the same applies to the PS5, Xbox Series and Steam Deck game consoles, but there are no details here.
AMD already has a patch for server CPUs, but unfortunately, consumer CPUs will receive fixes only in November and December.

The Huawei Kirin 9000s platform is truly unique. It has a 12-core processor, although it’s far from record-breaking performance.
The Kirin 9000s platform continues to bring surprises, although smartphones based on it have been on sale for some time.
After the latest Huawei flagships received HarmonyOS 4.0.0.116, Geekbench software began to define the characteristics of the new SoC differently. If earlier it was seen as an eight-core solution, now the number of processor cores is indicated as 12.
It’s worth remembering here that AnTuTu initially determined that the platform had exactly 12 cores, however, including two Cortex-A34.
Geekbench, well, indicates the types of cores, but talks about three clusters: four cores with a frequency of 1.53 GHz, two with a frequency of 2.62 GHz and six with a frequency of 2.15 GHz. This information is confirmed by screenshots from the mobile version of the benchmark.
We have not yet seen mobile SoCs with 12-core CPUs. At the same time, the performance of the Kirin 9000s, despite this configuration, is far from flagship by 2023 standards, that is, the cores themselves are not the most powerful.

The Core i9-14900KF is extremely slightly ahead of the Core i9-13900K and significantly behind the Ryzen 9 7950X3D. The results of the new Intel CPU have appeared in PassMark
The Core i9-14900KF processor appeared in the PassMark benchmark database and immediately became the leader in the single-threaded performance rating.
Despite the fact that technically the Core i9-14900K/KF is a complete copy of the Core i9-13900KS, apparently there are some settings related to power limits. As a result, the new model is still a little faster than its predecessor, although this is unlikely to be noticeable in practice.
But in multi-threaded mode, which is much more important from a practical point of view, everything is more interesting: the new product differs vanishingly little in performance from the Core i9-13900K, and is even inferior to the Core i9-13900KS. And all of them are noticeably behind the Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
