CNNfn's report on the Intel Pentium III security flaw speculates that Intel may actually recall the PIII's already in the pipeline that are due to be unveiled in just a few days. Thanks Scatterblak. The big I is quoted as saying they are unsure the flaw, based on the results of some experiments by the German magazine Computer Technology (c/t) exists, but they will work with the magazine to see what's been done. c/t says they can demonstrate that the embedded serial number in Pentium III chips can be turned on remotely without the user's knowledge. The serial number scheme announced for the PIII has come under heavy fire from security and privacy groups, whose protests resulted in Intel's decision to make it so the ID number can be switched off.
