How to make Linux run fast again on Intel CPUs

I would think that would actually benefit companies like AWS. Patches for the bug causes applications to run slower, because of that their customers will be forced to use bigger instances and bigger instances cost more.

I suppose only loss for AWS would be if someone decides to move back to own data center because of that, bit I don't think this would cause that.

I don't work at AWS (and haven't) but I do work in the world of big infra and my wild-ass guess is that the user stuff in AWS doesn't run as consistently hot as the SaaS stuff that Amazon runs itself.

Agreed. We run at like 11% average CPU usage across 5k+ EC2 instances in AWS.
