Downfall, known as Gather Data Sampling (GDS) by Intel, [1] is a computer security vulnerability found in 6th through 11th generations of consumer and 1st through 4th generations of Xeon Intel x86-64 microprocessors. [2] It is a transient execution CPU vulnerability which relies on speculative execution of Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX ...
Intel Graphics Technology[4] (GT) [a] is the collective name for a series of integrated graphics processors (IGPs) produced by Intel that are manufactured on the same package or die as the central processing unit (CPU).
Intel740. The Intel740, or i740 (codenamed Auburn), is a 350 nm graphics processing unit using an AGP interface released by Intel on February 12, 1998. [1] Intel was hoping to use the i740 to popularize the Accelerated Graphics Port, while most graphics vendors were still using PCI. Released to enormous fanfare, the i740 proved to have ...
The Itanium's performance running legacy x86 code did not meet expectations, and it failed to compete effectively with x86-64, which was AMD's 64-bit extension of the 32-bit x86 architecture (Intel uses the name Intel 64, previously EM64T).
Meltdown exploits a race condition, inherent in the design of many modern CPUs. This occurs between memory access and privilege checking during instruction processing. Additionally, combined with a cache side-channel attack, this vulnerability allows a process to bypass the normal privilege checks that isolate the exploit process from accessing data belonging to the operating system and other ...
A graphics card (also called a video card, display card, graphics accelerator, graphics adapter, VGA card/VGA, video adapter, display adapter, or colloquially GPU) is a computer expansion card that generates a feed of graphics output to a display device such as a monitor. Graphics cards are sometimes called discrete or dedicated graphics cards ...
Peripheral cards such as hard disk drive host bus adapters and video cards have their own firmware, and BIOS extension option ROM code may be a part of the expansion card firmware; that code provides additional capabilities in the BIOS.
The rudimentary task manager screen from Windows 3.1x, which was often confused with the Blue Screen of Death due to its similarities. On September 4, 2014, several online journals such as Business Insider, [9] DailyTech, [10] Engadget, [11] Gizmodo, [12] Lifehacker, [13] Neowin, [14] Softpedia, [15] TechSpot, [16] Boy Genius Report (BGR), The Register, [17] and The Verge, [18] as well as ...
