Ask HN: When is it safe to “disable side channel mitigations” in VMs?

1 pointsby scaglioover 4 years ago
Latest versions of VMware Fusion highly recommend [0] that VMs with &quot;side channel mitigations&quot; should have that feature disabled to improve performances. From what I understood, these vulnerabilities are mostly fixed by processor manufacturers, is it correct? Do they depend also on the hardware? So, is it &quot;safer&quot; to disable these mitigations on machines running newer CPUs rather than older ones?<p>[0]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kb.vmware.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;article&#x2F;79832
