Thanks Intel (and maybe others)!
Very interesting Sascha, thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Maybe my Haswell system (which is also affected) will suffice for 2018 :-P
The Spectre attacks appear to suck big-time. Regarding Meltdown, I hope
AMD will soon have a Ryzen CPU with APU ready ...

Hi Jonas,
there is news about an Intel CPU hardware bug:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/7nl8r0/intel_bug_incoming/
Fixes for that may decrease performance under certain workloads
(especially virtualisation and IO heavy loads).
So maybe hold off that purchase for a bit longer until there is more
information.
Regards, Sascha

Dear everyone,
Anything special to consider before buying hardware in January 2018?
My aim is to run my Linux workstation and a single Windows 10
gaming VM
with a dedicated GPU assigned via VFIO. The only piece of hardware
which
is dead certain to be in the build is my newly purchased ASUS
Strix GTX1070.
It is an mini-itx build, in my A4-SFX v1 case, so I'm forced to
choose a
platform with an build-in GPU since since I can only fit a single
dedicated graphics card.
Does that mean Intel Kaby Lake these days? Anything special to note
about the various 100- and 200-series chipsets?
Maybe I should look for a motherboard with at least two USB
controllers
so one can be assigned to the VM, although I plan on using only a
single
set of mouse/keyboard (I have seen people assign usb devices or
controllers on the fly, i.e. effectively switching mouse/keyboard
between guest/host).
Thank you for your input.
/ Jonas
