Intel will patch all recent chips by the end of January
90 percent of recent processors affected by Meltdown/Spectre will see fixes this week. There's still no word on a timeline for when affected processors made more than five years ago will be patched. 9th January 2018 https://www.engadget.com/2018/01/08/...ecurity-patch/ edit Windows Meltdown-Spectre patches: If you haven't got them, blame your antivirus Microsoft says your antivirus software could stop you from receiving the emergency patches issued for Windows.

You've got to love MS The one group who werent even affected by the chip debacle , those with AMD CPUs get a blue screen of death invitation from MS via windows updates They actually think their updates are a big help History says their as good as malware all too often |

As askwoody has been warning for year after year Let others be the beta testers with windows updates From an amd cpu perspective theres nothing to gain and everything to lose even when they get the anti-virus issue fixed Known issues in this update Microsoft is working with AMD to resolve this issue and resume Windows OS security updates to the affected AMD devices via Windows Update and WSUS as soon as possible. If you have experienced an unbootable state or for more information see KB4073707. For AMD specific information please contact AMD. January 3, 2018—KB4056897 (Security-only update) Applies to: Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/...date-kb4056897 |
