Intel CEO Brian Krzanich used the opening of his Consumer Electronics Show keynote in Las Vegas on Jan. 8 to publicly comment on the recently disclosed Meltdown and Spectre security vulnerabilities that impact the majority of the world’s CPUs.

Jan. 9 was originally intended to be the day that the Meltdown and Spectre CPU flaws were to be publicly disclosed, but media speculation led to a Jan. 3 disclosure of the critical flaws.
