Intel urges PC users to check for chipset flaw

Shares in Intel were down by 3.4 percent following the report but nudged back up 1.2 percent to $44.70 in after-hours trading while shares in AMD were up 1 percent to $11.77, shedding many of the gains they had made earlier in the day when reports suggested its chips were not affected.

PETALING JAYA: Computer users are advised to check if their Intel processor-based machines are affected by security vulnerabilities that were discovered recently.

The chipmaker has made available a diagnostic programme for users to run; it checks if the processor in a computer is affected.
