TheRegister is claiming that Intel has had a security flaw in their processors going back 10 years, and that fixing it could result in performance penalties of 5%-30% depending on the task and processor. INTC sinking, down over 2%, AMD surging, up 5%. If true, I would imagine such a performance hit would lead to many lawsuits. Or perhaps the initial story is all worst-case headline grabbing stuff, I guess we'll soon find out.
