Data center computers could face reboot hell
 

Intel's Spectre and Meltdown patches make a mess of newer chips

Data centre computers with Intel's newer chips might reboot more often than normal because of problems with the patches issued to fix the so-called Spectre and Meltdown security flaws.

In a statement on Intel’s website data centre group, general manager Navin Shenoy said that patches for the security flaws could cause higher-than-expected reboot rates in Ivy Bridge, Sandy Bridge, Skylake and Kaby Lake processors.

For those who came in late, Kaby Lake chips are the company’s most recent offering. Intel initially claimed its security patches were causing problems in systems with its older Broadwell and Haswell chips.
