During his CES keynote on Monday, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said that updates for Meltdown and Spectre for more than 90 percent of the company’s processors introduced in the past five years will be released by the end of the week, and the rest by the end of January.

“We believe the performance impact of these updates is highly workload-dependent. As a result, we expect some workloads may have a larger impact than others, so we will continue working with the industry to minimize the impact on those workloads over time,” he noted.

“As of now, we have not received any information that these exploits have been used to obtain customer data. And we are working tirelessly on these issues to ensure it stays that way. The best thing you can do to make sure your data remains safe is to apply any updates from your operating system vendor and system manufacturer as soon as they become available.”
