It appears that Intel CPUs since Westmere include something called PCID (Process-Context Identifier) that helps mitigate the effects to some extent - although the fixes have to consider this instruction set extension, and thus might be coming later than the "quick" fix that'll come out this month.
It seems the bug kills SSD performance massively, if you are a hard SSD user. Bad news for some.
So, if I ran that file and it says I'm vulnerable, what do I actually have to do to fix that?
Hope that your motherboard manufacturer has pushed out the update IME software

Yes, that might be the case. Intel back to 4% down and AMD up 7% now.
Edit:
BBC News have finally got an article up:

"Intel did not respond to requests for comment"

Apologies. So there is now another hardware level bug with Intel CPUs? I guess we all now know why AMD CPUs have run slower, because they're actually doing things properly it seems. I definitely think I'll be upgrading to AMD next round.
My 2600k is doing just fine for everything I do with my PC
It probably explains why the intel ceo sold 11 million in shares just last month....https://www.nystocknews.com/2017/12/...poration-intc/
