In the worst case, MariaDB lost over 50% of performance. However, more consumer oriented apps like 7zip and Firefox fared better, though 7zip still lost upwards of 13%.
There's a bit of good news for gamers. Phoronix ran the 3DMark Wildlife Extreme benchmark which showed an. That bodes well for gaming. We'll have to wait until patches are rolled out for consumer motherboards before knowing what effects mitigations will have in the Windows ecosystem, but for now it seems as though compute intensive professional and enterprise level software is most affected.
As I said last week when talking about Downfall, there's no need to panic. It will be well worth keeping an eye on your motherboard's product page, and you should update your BIOS when or if the vendor recommends you to do so. It goes without saying that you should also be vigilant at all times and not click dodgy links or run non trusted apps.
