Deleting my bookmarks to Tomshardware. The nearly screen size advertisements that continually pop up on every page I load are too much. Pisses me off that them constantly loading is using my limited data plan. No wired internet in my area worth a piss. I go somewhere else. Sucks because I have been watching this site several times per week for at least 10 years.

We're sad to lose you 2Mustangs. Remember to stop by if you're ever in the neighborhood.

If you ask me, this spectre/meltdown thing is overrated (and everybody forgot about krack?much more dungerous). Afterall, what does it need to execude ? local access ? or from lan ? or from remote ?

What I see is most of Skylake are in production status, but mine's still Beta:
Skylake Xeon E3, Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200 v5 Product Family, 506E3, 36, Beta, 0xBA
So Skylake is not fixed for some. My board has been issued new bios from Gigabyte,
but according to above reference, it is in BETA not Production status.
