"We have released microcode updates for our customers and partners on the Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake platforms, as well as additional Skylake platforms. The new microcode is available in most cases through OEM firmware updates. "We continue to encourage people to keep their systems up to date."
Intel released updates security για το Meltdown και μια παρchange του Specter τον Ιανουάριο και οι κατασκευαστές συσκευών τις συμπεριέλαβαν στην αναβάθμιση του firmware τους που κυκλοφόρησε τον ίδιο μήνα μετά τη δημοσιοποίηση των two vulnerabilities.
However, the company discovered that Specter Variant 2 fixes caused unexpected restarts in its processors and eventually decided to withdraw the updates until it discovered and repaired the problem.
Early in February, Intel finally released updated patches for Specter Variant 2, but only Skylake chipsets.
Let's say the company has currently accepts 32's mass claims, about the Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities fiasco, but also the way it handled the information for its own benefit when its shares were listed on the stock exchange…
