Spectre and Meltdown Bugs -
Submitted by pstevens on
It hasn’t been a fun time to be Intel. Last week the company revealed two chip vulnerabilities that have come to be known as Spectre and Meltdown and have been rocking the entire chip industry ever since (not just Intel). In late January Intel issued some patches to rectify the problem. Last week, word leaked that some companies were having a reboot issue after installing them. A bad week just got worse.
The company admitted as much in a blog post penned by Navin Shenoy, executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center Group at Intel.
