In order to solve the specter and Meltdown processor vulnerabilities, Intel introduced the software update first, but caused some computer performance drastic reduction or unexpected reboot. Intel finally announced that it will take hardware repair measures to completely solve the problem, but there are still many No Answer. According to the CRN, there are five key Intel hardware fixes for Specter and Meltdown vulnerabilities. The first is when these processors will be available. Intel Chief Executive Brian Krzanich on January 25 at the earnings report said Broadly speaking, the new product will start to appear later in 2018. Intel Chief Financial Officer Bob Swan told CNBC on January 26 that it expects to launch the hardware that has addressed these vulnerabilities in the second half of 2018. It seems Consumers have to wait for a while before they can buy a processor that is completely immune to Specter and Meltdown vulnerabilities.What product plans does Intel have? Krzanich does not say which processors will use silicon-based fixes to resolve Specter and Meltdown But he did say that Intel started rolling out the first 10-nanometer processors in the fourth quarter of 2017 and will be available in 2 Expansion of 10-nanometer processor production by 018. Specter and Meltdown hardware fixes may first appear on 10-nanometer processors as the 10-nanometer processor is Intel's focus, but Intel did not abandon the 14-nanometer process, with executives saying These processors are also likely to be immune to Specter and Meltdown vulnerabilities by the year 14 and will be available in 2018. Will there be any supply limitations? Needs for new processors are likely to be unprecedented. Every IT vendor in the world is in a hurry To provide its customers immunity to Specter and Meltdown products.The question is whether Intel can meet the demand.If not, which customers can give priority to obtain limited supply.In 2016, Intel's top three customers for Dell, Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard HP). Will Intel have a financial impact? The processor requirements of the new processor will almost certainly be strong, but it is hard to imagine that technical efforts will not cost too much. Krzanich told the law said he is here Hardware solutions assigned to Intel's best talent.Swan later added that Intel will spend a lot of time and effort in 2018 to solve this problem Intel partner LAN Infotech chief executive Michael Goldstein said he could not imagine how Intel could fix it on silicon, but Krzanich made it clear that the security loophole would not have a significant impact on Intel's financial results. In addition to the security concerns of the Specter and Meltdown vulnerabilities, the elimination of these vulnerabilities can cause computational performance degradation, as resolving this issue means limiting the speculative execution capabilities that modern processors use to improve performance, Intel said , The company is working to reduce these performance effects, but the question is, next-generation Intel processors will actually be slower than this generation of processors?
