    Do you need Z390 for the Hardware fixes or Z370 is also fine, as long as you are using i9 9900K?

    The fixes are in the CPU, the mainboard does not matter here.

    Don't you think that it's sad that Intel didn't changed/improved the "All New 28C!!!" Xeon W-3175X and released it as is just with stim and unlocked multi without fixing the Meltdown and etc ? it's a XEON and security should be on top, OMG - That what you get for letting Marketing team Run your Company! .

    Before they don't fix ALL of it inside the chip it's only a PR stunt.
    Everything that has to be run by the OS cripples performance. I wonder if the reviews even bench with all the security patches enabled...

    Glad to know Intel is working on this with their latest micro-arch refresh - far as Xeons are concerned I agree that was sad but likely will be addressed in upcoming firmware updates to Enterprise clients & board partners to come. I'm not sure if SMT can be modified to the point of near overhaul via micro-code updates but perhaps. To address more when they get around to it.
