- Intel publishes its sixth Product Safety Report, describing how it approaches security vulnerabilities
- Intel has also criticized AMD and NVIDIA, sharing unflattering statistics
- AMD ASSE A 78 Vulnerabilities without planned corrective, NVIDIA has only high severity safety bugs
Intel has strongly criticized its two largest competitors – AMD and NVIDIA – for alleged security problems.
Its product security report in 2024, the sixth annual missive, discusses the security challenges, how they were discussed and why Intel has a “competitive advantage” in security insurance. For its own solutions, Intel said that almost all the new vulnerabilities found in 2024 (96%) were discovered internally, adding that all the material problems found were also discovered by its own research team.
Then, he turned his attention to his competitors – saying that the AMD has reported 4.4 times more firmware vulnerabilities in its material confidence root and 1.8 times more vulnerabilities of firmware in its confidential computer technologies compared to to Intel. He added that AMD only discovered about half (57%) of all the vulnerabilities of the reported platform and that the company has 78 defects without planned correction.
Battle of the giants
For Nvidia, Intel said that the company reported 18 high severity vulnerabilities, 13 of which were remote code execution defects. At the same time, the GPUs of Intel had reported only 10 problems, one of which was a severe bug.
Amd and Nvidia have not yet commented on the report.
Reports like these must always be taken with a grain of salt because they are unilateral, but especially since Intel is in competition with AMD and Nvidia in different fields.
Regarding the processor market, Intel is always the force of domination. However, AMD increased its market share by 5.7% in the third quarter of 2024. On the GPU front, Nvidia could be the undisputed champion, but Intel recently published Gaudi 3 as a competitor. Unfortunately for the company, he did not reach his goal and canceled his new generation Falcon Shores range.
