There is a serious design flaw in Intel CPUs, which affects computers running any OS (MacOS, Windows, Linux, etc.), will need an OS-level patch to correct. The flaw can allow malware access to supposedly secure system information such as passwords and keychains. The OS-level fix may cause a performance drop of up to 30%! Intel Chips Have Memory Access Design Flaw and Fix Could Lead to Performance Drop <https://www.macrumors.com/2018/01/02/intel-chip-design-flaw/> Intel chip kernel flaw requires OS-level fix that could impact macOS performance, report says <http://appleinsider.com/articles/18/01/02/intel-chip-kernel-flaw-requires-os-level-fix-that-could-impact-macos-performance-report-says> Time for Apple to swicth over to their own CPUs for Mac computers?? Time for Americans to sue Intel out of existence??
