7 <https://newsroom.intel.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2018/04/microcode-update-guidance.pdf>,
8 issued April 2, adds a “stopped” status to Intel’s “production status”
9 category in its array of available Meltdown and Spectre
10 <https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/04/intel_amd_arm_cpu_vulnerability/>
11 security updates. "Stopped" indicates there will be no microcode patch to
12 kill off Meltdown and Spectre."
13
14 " "Stopped" CPUs that won’t therefore get a fix are in the Bloomfield,
15 Bloomfield Xeon, Clarksfield, Gulftown, Harpertown Xeon C0 and E0, Jasper
16 Forest, Penryn/QC, SoFIA 3GR, Wolfdale, Wolfdale Xeon, Yorkfield, and
17 Yorkfield Xeon families. The new list includes various Xeons, Core CPUs,
18 Pentiums, Celerons, and Atoms – just about everything Intel makes.

20 Most the CPUs listed above are oldies that went on sale between 2007 and
21 2011"
