The news about a security flaw in Intel chips was released yesterday. The gap in could leave millions of computers vulnerable, but it could be a flaw that affects other companies besides Intel.

Originally detected by Sign up, as a kernel vulnerability leaves computers with Intel vulnerable to hackers. Although there is a first impression of the vulnerability and a first patch, the Register reports that this particular patch could slow down computers by 30%.Intel

The flaw may allow malicious programs to read information s and ς από “ασφαλή μέρη” της μνήμης του υπολογιστή. Όμως όπως φαίνεται, μπορεί να μην επηρεάζει μόνο τα εκατομμύρια υπολογιστών της s Intel.

An Intel statement said vulnerability is not limited to company chips. Of course, Intel also suggests that other chipmakers such as AMD and ARM are vulnerable, which means that many more computers and smartphones are at risk.
AMD on the other hand claimed that for the Axios processor there is "almost zero risk" for this vulnerability, according to TNW.

Intel also said it is working on a solution that will not slow down computers, according to Microsoft Reuters. It seems that it takes a lot of work, as it is necessary to rebuild the basic functions of the company's processors.

  1. Which of the following is true and which is false? Is the problem real? Is it just a war between companies? Who knows how to tell us for sure about the problem? Grab the egg and cut it… ..

  2. Classic intel is trying to throw its own problem on other platforms to reduce the damage from bad publicity and of course well done by AMD and ARM who informed that they are not affected by the vulnerability.
    Intel has been making potatoes since last year and with the spokesperson making even more mistakes that anger consumers of their products.
