Intel has just released some patches for the vulnerability Specter. The company released patches for more processors, in addition to the Skylake chipsets it released earlier this month.
The new updates are for the CPU: Skylake-X, Kaby Lake, and Coffee Lake CPUs, as well as some chips for data centers such as Intel Xeon Scalable and Intel Xeon D.
The company reports that it continues to collaborate with other companies to include them in the next firmware updates.

However, the company discovered that the patches of Spectre Variant 2 were causing unexpected reboots on her processors, and she eventually decided to pull the updates until she discovered and fixed the problem.
Early in February, Intel finally released updated patches for Specter Variant 2, but only Skylake chipsets.
