Intel has another Spectre patch in the works, after users reported that its last fix led to random rebooting issues. Consequently, the company is now recommending that its customers stop deploying that original patch, and instead start testing out the new and improved version. Navin Shenoy, executive vice president and general manager of Intel's Data Center group, said in a blog post today that the company has "identified the root cause" for system instability in its Broadwell and Haswell chips, and it started rolling out the new patch to partners over the weekend. For now, all consumers can do is wait for a final version of that fix.
Intel tells customers to stop using its faulty Spectre patch
Intel should buy back users Intel CPUs and motherboards at full price from users who no longer want to use an Intel CPU which is affected by Meltdown and Spectre, and dont want to wait for working patches which don't break their computer by making their PC randomly reboot.
I feel bad for the users who spent hundreds to thousands of dollars on Intel CPUs, and their PC is now insecure, or randomly rebooting and the CPU runs slower after installing the Intel patches which may not fully protect Intel CPU.
