ZOMG... n0000 ,.... now they know tp4 watches 4 hrs of cat videos every day @ wurk...
Intel did admit that there were vulnerabilities in ME. Late November last year, BIOS makers issued updates with ME fixes and Intel released a tool for checking if the system is patched:

****ing *******s. Including an impossible to disable remote management system. AKA a backdoor. What could go wrong.
All CPU are vulnerable? I mean there's no currently top notch CPU which isn't vulnerable? What should people buy, except AMD?
I'm looking for a way to return my unreturnable CPU.
Topre keyboards are affected: they all became rubberdomes.
But they are mechanical too.Topre keyboards are affected: they all became rubberdomes.
Thorpe keyboards ARE rubber dome.
^^^^ DONT DO IT, ITS A TRAP. SPOILER ALERT THERE IS NO ACTUAL SECURITY ISSUE AND THE CIA HAS FORCED MICROSOFT/INTEL TO RELEASE A PATCH THAT ACTUALLY CREATES A BACKDOOR BECAUSE THE CIA WANTS TO USE YOUR IDLE PC FOR MINING CRYPTO AS THEY HAVE FINALLY DECIDED THAT IT WILL MAKE THEM MORE MONEY THAN SELLING DRUGS.this kind of already exists...

No need.. !!

YOU DONT MAKE FRIENDS WITH SALAD
Not sure if it's in the silicon, but the ME has a network stack in it.Show Image(http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/joyimages/2340.png)
I wonder if Original Xbox is affected !!

As someone who worked in an Intel Validation group for SOCs until mid-2014 or so I can tell you, yes, you will see more CPU bugs from Intel than you have in the past from the post-FDIV-bug era until recently.
Why?
Let me set the scene: It’s late in 2013. Intel is frantic about losing the mobile CPU wars to ARM. Meetings with all the validation groups. Head honcho in charge of Validation says something to the effect of: “We need to move faster. Validation at Intel is taking much longer than it does for our competition. We need to do whatever we can to reduce those times… we can’t live forever in the shadow of the early 90’s FDIV bug, we need to move on. Our competition is moving much faster than we are” - I’m paraphrasing. Many of the engineers in the room could remember the FDIV bug and the ensuing problems caused for Intel 20 years prior. Many of us were aghast that someone highly placed would suggest we needed to cut corners in validation - that wasn’t explicitly said, of course, but that was the implicit message. That meeting there in late 2013 signalled a sea change at Intel to many of us who were there. And it didn’t seem like it was going to be a good kind of sea change. Some of us chose to get out while the getting was good. As someone who worked in an Intel Validation group for SOCs until mid-2014 or so I can tell you, yes, you will see more CPU bugs from Intel than you have in the past from the post-FDIV-bug era until recently.
Just installed the Meltdown patch. I'll still be vulnerable to Spectre though because Intel will never release a BIOS update for my mobo (S1200BTL)...

right.... I'm thinking many people with a gen or two back processors are never going to get bios updates and will thus be vulnerable to Spectre until they replace their hardware..
I have been using a i7-4770K w/ a gigabyte Z87 motherboard that is 4+ years old at this point.. I'm quite dubious that if a bios update is actually needed this board will ever see it.. Some people claim that the fix may be a microcode patch that could be applied via the OS... but ???? I'm not sure wtf is actually going on with this at this point.
3770K here z68 i guess if it aint broke dont fix but now its broke lol

Dis' -fanpeople's- official recommended HD-capable pr0nputer specifications ?

I bet with 1070 i could turn that into VRpron
