  • The new class of vulnerabilities in Intel processors arises from speculative technologies that anticipate individual computing steps.
  • Openings enable gradual reading of entire privilege memory contents of shared processor (CPU).
  • All Intel processors from the last 6 years are affected, from PCs to servers in data centres.

Just RMA it (or the motherboard?)

I really dislike how you're so comfortable recommending RMA'ing a board when the person hasn't provided logs / data

Because that does nothing to solve the problem if it turns out that an RMA wasn't needed

Tech troubleshooting is a process of ruling things out and reading through information to narrow down to a probable cause and implementing a fix too see if it fixes the issue

You have no information besides what they've already tried which is random things because they haven't read log data or other information to help them figure out a cause

I have to admit I didn't read it through properly, but if it's a problem with two CPUs then it's probably a motherboard issue. (Or something g completely unrelated like ram)
