Re: Some serious security bug in INTEL CPUs?? Since Westmere possibly
But at least, Intel don't appear to be as low as they were with 1993, 1994 and 1995 Pentiums... (The mid-1990s were their lowest point, so far!)
That incident required physical hardware replacement, you were required to dump your CPU chips per-se!
IIRC, Intel said that the Pentium 133s and higher, don't have the hardware bug...
The mid-1990s Intel incident, was a lot worse than "Meltdown" and "Spectre".
IIRC, late-1990s' Windows NT 4.0, had a work around for such Pentiums detected, but then the Pentiums will act like OC'ed 486 SXes, LOL.
