Would it be fair to say that this might cause acceptation in the shift from on prem to the public cloud, where there are performance guarantees?

There aren't really performance guarantees for CPU and the ones that are there won't help here. When this patch is released big providers will have the same hardware as before and sell it in the same way - but the OS and userspace will just be slower for some use patterns.

There isn't a guarantee that will compensate for that any more than if you updated some piece of your software infrastructure to a new version that just got slower.
