Yes. Apparently there's a new type of attack called Downfall to infer data from affected CPUs. You can disable the patch if you prefer performance over security. To disable it you need to edit something in the registry. An easier way to do it is to open cmd as an admin and run this command --> reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 33554432 /f Restart the system then download Inspectre from Guru3d to disable meltdown and spectre protection (older security patches). After a final restart, your system should be good. My single core performance went from 395 to 417, and multicore from 1995 to 2020 in CPU-Z bench after disabling these patches.
i have i5-4670; gtx 750; 16gb ram;120gb ssd+1tb hdd, for only 100$
im building the same one the price today is really cheap..
@@robertfernandez7223 exactly, you can go even further with $300 budget today. Would love to see your build. Peace!
I have the same cpu. Had to disable a security patch to unlock the full capability of this processor.
Could you please share more details about it?

Is this cpu better than i5 2320?
Yeah, way better. I'd say 30-50% faster/capable.
