Did you guys hear about latest news?

TLDR: Turned out that all Intel processors have flaws, and are exposed to attacks. So, there will be a patch that will fix it and slow your processors. ( different websites tells different range of percentage of slowdown)

I just bought a new i9 for working with VR Game Development, Unreal Engine, Maya, 3Ds Max, Blender, Zbrush, Substance Painter, Designer, B2M, and other 3d software, VR Gaming, Rendering, Photoshop etc...

How do you think this new, slowing patch will affect my workflow? Because the range of slowdown is quite wide (5-50% slower) and I don't know which tasks will be affected most.

Also, maybe I should return it and wait for new processors?

Have a nice day :)
