For more information refer to the SA-00086 Detection Tool Guide or the
Intel security advisory Intel-SA-00086 at the following link:

Dell has a list of it's computers that are at risk an it is quite long.

I guess Lenovo also has one online.


According to the Intel advisory, among the Core line, only gen 6,7,8
are affected. So no need to run the detection tool on the 2620M above,
as it's a gen 2. Likewise, mine's a 2760QM, so I'm not going to bother.
