- Ubuntu To Disable Intel GPU Security Mitigations To Improve . . .
Up until now, there have been no reports of such attacks on Intel iGPUs, but due to the mitigation measures, the iGPUs had a downgrade in performance, as found by Canonical, the developer of the
- Ubuntu Intel: When security becomes a brake pad - igor´sLAB
What happened? Canonical, the guardians of the Ubuntu gospel, and Intel, the veterans of x86 realpolitik, are removing the Spectre mitigations for integrated Intel GPUs from the compute runtime with the upcoming Ubuntu 25 10 The performance gains: up to 20 % The security gains beforehand: tend to be academic
- Ubuntu To Disable Intel Graphics Security Mitigations To . . .
Disabling Intel graphics security mitigations in GPU compute stacks for OpenCL and Level Zero can yield a performance boost of up to 20%, prompting Ubuntu's Canonical and Intel to disable these mitigations in future Ubuntu packages Phoronix's Michael Larabel reports: Intel does allow building thei
- Disabling Intel Graphics Security Mitigations boosts compute . . .
For example, the Spectre-v2 mitigations alone induce up to a 35% performance impact on patched Intel chips Security vulnerabilities often impact performance-focused components inside the CPU
- Intel GPUs See 20% Performance Gain by Disabling Security . . .
Starting with Ubuntu 25 10, users will be able to take advantage of this new flexibility After jointly evaluating the change with Intel, Canonical’s security team concluded that the improved performance doesn’t compromise system safety under properly patched environments This move signals a notable shift in Intel’s approach The company
- Disabling Intel Graphics Security Mitigations Can Boost GPU . . .
While not talked about as much as the Intel CPU security mitigations, Intel graphics security mitigations have added up over time that if disabling Intel graphics security mitigations for their GPU compute stack for OpenCL and Level Zero can yield a 20% performance boost Ubuntu maker Canonical in cooperation with Intel is preparing to disable
- Intel and Canonical will shut down GPU-mitigations in Ubuntu . . .
As Ubuntu developers found out, included GPU-mitigations reduce graphics performance by up to 20%, especially in computational problems Ubuntu builds will now use the NEO_DISABLE_MITIGATIONS flag, which disables protection in Intel Compute Runtime Such builds have long been used on GitHub, and Intel has officially confirmed that the risks are
