Intel yesterday broke the silence this morning on a serious security breach.
Intel official response said that they and related technology companies have fully understood the working mechanism of security loopholes, If malicious use, may result in leakage of information data, but never modify, delete and lead to the possibility of a system crash.
The second point, on the loophole is only a design BUG or shortcomings Intel Intel x86-64 processor, Intel think the report is wrong. They point out that the AMD / ARM server system is in fact also affected Everyone is working closely to find the most thorough response.
The third point, the so-called patch after the performance loss of 30% to 35%. Intel stressed that, Performance issues are strongly associated with workloads and can not be generalized. In fact, there will be no significant impact for each user, and (even if performance is impaired) over time.
Intel emphasized that they have already started to provide software and firmware updates.It has been with Microsoft, Google and other companies to discuss well, open the loophole next week and at the same time to provide solutions, TheReg kicked the first kick, while the so-called 'Intel to hide Not reported, steal repair "big loss of performance" Intel x86 design BUG 10 years of the report appeared, Let them have to stand up early to face the hearing.
Finally, Intel said that their products are the safest in the world. At the same time, they hope users can keep up with system-level and chip-level updates in time to ensure that they are always protected.
Last but not the least, the origin of the story Intel's CPU architecture, which has been around for nearly a decade, was found to have a core memory leak that could allow malicious scripts to read core memory and take sensitive information out of the box , Intel can not be repaired by the BIOS update, Linux kernel or even Windows NT have to follow pit filling Caixing.
