Re: How convenient
How about a free issue replacement chip of the appropriate generation
Which *might* be OK for desktops and mini-PC formats (assuming that the processor isn't soldered in place) but isn't going to work for laptops (I've yet to see a laptop made in the last 20 years where the processor isn't soldered in place).
Nope - it's going to have to be a nice new AMD-based MacBook Pro for me, paid for by Intel..
(And 4 new Xeon chips for my server, without the bug plus compensation for the downtime and effort of replacement - probably easier for Supermicro to just send me a new server sans drives and let me just swap them over..)
And 400 new processors for work.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
