Upgrading to a newer hardware platform will yield much better performance and power efficiency than still rocking out an Intel Skylake era system, but for those looking to maximize the longevity of the hardware, the retbleed=stuff is a new kernel option worth considering... Or mitigations=off if you don't mind the security risk.
