#Intel and #AMD Hertzbleed CPU #Vulnerability Uses Boost Speed to Steal Crypto Keys
Intel and researchers from UT Austin, UIUC, and UW published papers today outlining the 'Hertzbleed' chip vulnerability that allows side-channel attacks that can steal secret AES cryptographic keys by observing the CPU's boost frequency/power mechanisms. Both Intel and AMD CPUs are impacted.
The vulnerability impacts all Intel processors and AMD Zen 2 and Zen 3, but it isn't clear if it will impact the upcoming Zen 4 Ryzen 7000.

📰 AMD Ryzen AI NPUs Are Finally Useful Under Linux For Running LLMs
Over the past two years AMD has developed the AMDXDNA accelerator driver in the mainline Linux kernel for supporting the AMD Ryzen AI NPUs. But when it comes to user-space software on Linux actually able to leave the Ryzen AI NPUs it's been... extremely limited with nothing really useful besides some niche bits of code. Even AMD's own software like their GAIA on Linux has used Vulkan with their iGPUs rather than any NPU support.
