A Security Flaw Threw Intel Into Trouble Deploying Directx 12 On Its 4Th Gen Cpu

(image credit: Intel) Intel disabled DirectX 12 support on its Haswell 4th generation with onboard graphics because of its security vulnerabilities. This vulnerability might allow escalation of privileges, or, in other words, allow unauthorized users to perform unwanted activities. This will mean it is a somewhat drastic action, to disable directX 12 support completely, and to fix the issue of an updated driver or patch. It will also be interesting to know whether Intel makes any suggestions about the particularity of the vulnerability or to test other CPU generations. The problem is with the CPU with driver 15.40.44.5107. The CPUs are designed with Iris Pro 5200, Iris 5100, HD 5000, 4600, 4400 and 4400 graphics. The two other models include Pentium and Celeron 4. So far, the new generation Ivy Bridge processors with the same Gen 7 GPU architecture are hardly affected, at least for now. Even though most enthusiast gamers have moved on from Haswell processors, there isn’t doubt that many 4000 series GPUs are growing in desktop and particularly laptops worldwide. Even those who use HD and Iris graphics of the time aren’t likely to run much DX12 content anyway, so this may seem to be somewhat of a barefoot-in-sea burger. Black Friday 2021 deals are the place to go for all the best early Black Friday deals. That’s the most sensitive subject of Intel’s recent years, with a low profile, especially in the Spectre and Meltdown market. In the meantime, Intel recommends that users retrograde the driver to version 15.40.42.5063 or older, and run Direct X 12 content. Similarly, if Intel is willing to suggest that, this issue may not be serious at all.
