Linux Dirty Cow



And Windows Atom Bomb

Has anyone else been getting this ?

I've been getting it popup over the past few weeks and don't really know what's causing it

At first I thought it was legit, and accepted it, but it installed the Chromium (not Chrome) browser. I managed to get rid of that, but I still occasionally get this popup. If you do get it btw, just right click on it in the task bar and close it rather than click on anything on the popup.

Defender doesn't find anything so far.

So it seems that silicon can't go smaller than 5nm due to leakage, it had to happen, but not to worry "molybdenum disulfide" could save the day. It's very early days and the technology has some issues to overcome but ...

Yup, Kaby Lake is going to replace Skylake in a few months, probably around the beginning of 2017.

Here are the main pointers I've found out.

14nm architecture, the same as Skylake but with a few small improvements.

Around 5 - 10% faster per core than Skylake.

Slightly higher clock speeds than Skylake.

Overall about 15% faster than Skylake.

Should work on a Z170 chipset mobo with a BIOS up-date.

No major improvements that I can see, Intel still sticking with quad cores for mainstream and giving us a little better CPU than the last generation.
