Intel vows to stop Meltdown and Spectre by the end of January

Intel wasted no time during its keynote to address the Meltdown and Spectre bugs potentially threatening all its processors.

At CES 2018, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich opening moments promised it would patch 90% of affected processors made in the past five years by the end of this week. From there, the following 10% of vulnerable processors will see fixes by the end of the month.
