Performance impact on Skylake CPU with 1903 build

[vortex681 806]

Interesting benchmark of a 6700k CPU (which now includes P3D test) for the 1903 build of Windows 10 showing the effect of the latest meltdown/spectre/MDS mitigations: https://www.reddit.com/r/CabaloftheBuildsmiths/comments/brqqyb/gamingworkstation_benchmarks_on_windows_1903_for/ - follow the Google docs link. There's about a 4% loss in performance for those who don't want to follow the link.

Yep, you buy the latest, greatest, fastest CPU only to have a security patch throttle it.

Remember that this is for the 6700K. The post did say "A 9900k R0 will have way less impact for example." - so much less than 4%.
