Intel rushes out "Spectre" and "Meltdown" updates
 

Should have most things patched by next week

Intel has developed and is rapidly issuing updates for all types of Intel-based computer systems -- including personal computers and servers -- that render those systems immune to the"Spectre" and "Meltdown."

Intel paid hundreds of millions of dollars to recall its Pentium processors after the 1994 discovery of the "FDIV bug" that revealed rare but real calculation errors. Meltdown and Spectre are proving damaging to Intel's brand, sending the company's stock down more than 5 percent.
