Intel`s major chip flaw still hasn`t been fixed
(Windows Phone Central)

Dutch researchers have decided enough is enough. What you need to know A patch released by Intel on Tuesday was purported to have fixed flaws in its processors. Researchers at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam claim that problems are still not solved. The group also claims that Intel is abusing its power and that it can no longer stay silent. A report from The New York Times claims that Intel has repeatedly asked a group of Dutch researchers to remain silent over vulnerabilities in its chips, despite repeated instances of Intel patches which have not fixed the problem in its entirety. The vulnerability is essentially based around the fact that Intel chips often perform certain functions in anticipation of processing needs to speed up performance. If those functions are aborted however, the data created remains in the system for a brief period, whilst this data is being processed or stored it is vulnerable to extraction by hackers. Researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam dis...
