Hello

Benchmarks regarding performance hits are as ugly as it was mentioned last week. Reports are officially poping all over the net.

With Meltdown and Spectre slowing devices as much as 45% (measured in real life), how Sophos plan to compensate customers ?

Lets not jump to conclusions over what the real world impact is on the SG/XG hardware line. Lets wait until the changes are in first.

I know that in v18 there are large improvements to performance that are software only (eg applies to all hardware). Worse case I think that they will cancel each other out.

VM and customer supplied boxes, Sophos does not provide the hardware. So performance is up to the client.

Hi folks,
I have upgraded the BIOS on my home XG to a beta version which contains the bug fix for both of the issues. So far I have not noticed any performance hit.
