I agree. But even so, AMD are better by some noticeable margin.
Intel... OMGWTF. With the 'VISA' exploit they're contradicting the
researchers, and with 'Foreshadow' they said app programmers should
deal with it.
I saw that too WRT Foreshadow: "Just code around it!" That's a swing and
a miss for a real answer. I'll have to catch up on VISA.
BTW, like some other Qubers I got a G505s with the AMD A10. Still need
to figure out how to flash it.
Mike Banon's done some great work here. Check out
http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Flashing_a_BIOS_chip_with_Bus_Pirate
(pictures are from a G505s) and
http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking. My thanks to
Taiidan too for promoting the platform. Feel free to contact me with any
questions, on or off list.
I'm ordering parts from Mike's guide now, but a little confused about
something: If I order reasonably short wires and the advanced clip, will
I need to do any soldering?
Another thing that isn't clear is how power is applied, but I'll cross
that bridge when I get to it. I plan to use a CH341A flasher.
