The news about a security flaw in Intel chips was released yesterday. The vacuum in security could leave vulnerable millions of computers, but it could be a defect that affects other companies other than Intel.
Originally detected by Sign up, as a kernel vulnerability leaves computers with Intel processors vulnerable to hackers. Although there is a first fix of the vulnerability and a first patch, the Register website states that this patch could slow down computers by 30%.
The flaw may allow malicious programs to read login information and passwords accessς από “safe parts” of computer memory. But as it turns out, it may not only be affecting its millions of computers companys 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 to take a lot work, as the reconstruction of basic functions of the company's processors is required.
Intel said it planned to reveal the defect next week.
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… ..
The problem is real, updates are already out. Of course, the war between the companies is also valid…
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.
