Intel has cast Shade at two biggest competitors in its latest product security report, claiming that AMD has more than four times more firmware vulnerabilities, while Nvidia has 80% GPU security issues I’m doing it.
The first three points in Intel’s 2024 Intel Product Security Report’s key findings overview focused primarily on itself, highlighting the performance of the internal security research team, and the new vulnerabilities of last year 96% of the hardware issues have been discovered, and 100% of the hardware issues have been discovered. It was discovered in-house.
Intel’s final three points focus on two biggest competitors, AMD and Nvidia. According to Intel, the former reported that it compares “Hardware Root of Trust’s firmware vulnerability 4.4 times” with “1.8 times the firmware vulnerability of Confidential Computing Technologies.” He also criticized Nvidia in the GPU category, stating that it had “only high-deficiency vulnerabilities (18)” in 2024.
Aside from these summaries, Intel has continued to detail the report. AMD said it discovered only about 57% of reported platform vulnerabilities. Additionally, AMD currently lists 78 vulnerabilities as “unfixed plans.” This means that AMD has no solution. This contrasts with Intel, saying it provided mitigation on all supported SKUs and resolved vulnerabilities in trust for all hardware routes (all this was discovered internally and (I’m claiming).
On the GPU front, the company claims it has the least vulnerability, saying it only has 10 issues reported on Intel GPUs, with only one of which being noted as a high or serious threat, while the rest is medium It is labeled as having one. Meanwhile, Nvidia has reported 18 security vulnerabilities. All of these are marked as high severity, of which 13 are likely to allow bad actors to run code on affected PCs.
Intel says it prioritizes CPU and GPU security despite China’s accusation of a massive security flaw in October 2024. These reports not only provide security updates for each company, but also reports on public databases such as the National Vulnerability Database.
Apart from claiming that its product is the safest, Intel is trying to bring AMD and Nvidia down to PEG. Probably not the time – Intel still owns a majority market share on X86 CPUs, but AMD recently rose 5.7 percentage points in 3Q24. The tragic financial results were announced in late July.
At the same time, Intel is trying to take on Nvidia in the Gaudi 3’s AI chip space, but has failed to meet its goal so far, and recently cancelled its next-generation Falcon Shores. Part for the public for over a year. Meanwhile, Jensen Huang and Nvidia are attracting billions for hardware demand.
