During the opening notes of Intel's fourth-quarter earnings call, CEO Brian Krzanich
revealed that the company will roll out new processors later this year that will be immune to Spectre and Meltdown. These processors will have in-silicon fixes for these vulnerabilities, but no further detail were shared.
"Security is a top priority for Intel, foundational to our products and it's critical to the success of our data-centric strategy. Our near term focus is on delivering high quality mitigations to protect our customers infrastructure from these exploits. We're working to incorporate silicon-based changed to future products that will directly address the Spectre and Meltdown threats in hardware. And those products will begin appearing later this year." - Brian Krzanich
