This keeps getting slightly misrepresented.

There is no fix for CPUs that are already damaged.

There is a fix now to prevent it from happening to a good CPU.

But isn't the fix basically under clocking those CPU?

Meaning the "solution" (not even out yet) is crippling those units before the flaw cripples them?

Remember Spectre? When they recommended disabling hyperthreading?
