> What can you do about it? Nerf your CPU performance by disabling "turbo boost" or equivalent. Should you do it? Probably not unless you're particularly vulnerable (journalist, human rights activist, etc.)
The most likely to be targeted (and probably easiest to target) systems are probably cloud hosts. This might be an argument for disabling frequency scaling and fixing clock speed on cloud VM hosts or bare metal servers.
Less of a performance hit there too since those tend to run at a sustained max anyway, and turbo boost can be problematic in those environments due to heat. It can reduce overall throughput in a sustained load scenario.
