Nearly secondary to this is the question of how Intel performed throughout 2017 and how AMD's mobile and desktop Ryzen launches might have impacted the company's full year results.
That raises the question of how seriously changed Intel's upcoming chips will be, and if performance will be affected. Desktop processors did decline-five percent volume, two percent selling price-but the company attributed this to the declining PC market in general rather than competition from AMD's Ryzen and Threadripper products or Intel's own shortages of Coffee Lake desktop chips. Still, the threat of Spectre and Meltdown looms large over the tech industry.
Intel announced its Q4 2017 and full year 2017 earnings, in what has to be one of the higher-profile earnings calls the company has ever done.
"Investors have handicapped that it's going to be negligible damage", Ives said.
If the company suggests that the security flaws could cause it to fall short of that rate, then the stock could suffer, Gerra said. Annual sales for 2017 were up 5.7 percent, to $62.8 billion.
Krzanich said he appointed some of the best minds at Intel to deal with the issue. The company recently promised that the vulnerability this month will be closed in all recent chips through software updates.

Hamlin Capital Management Llc increased Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:QCOM) stake by 14,218 shares to 1.49M valued at $77.47M in 2017Q3. Finally, Tortoise Capital Advisors L.L.C. boosted its position in Kinder Morgan by 11.0% during the third quarter.
Intel has said there would be no material cost to it from security flaws, dubbed Meltdown and Spectre, that were disclosed on January 3 since both could be solved with software.
For the fourth quarter, Intel earned an adjusted profit of $1.08 cents a share, well above analysts' forecast of 86 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters, and up from 79 cents a year ago. These products will begin appearing later this year, he added. While those efforts helped, it was a 20% sales jump in its data-center chip business that really powered the quarter - and will determine success for the foreseeable future.
"Our near-term focus is on delivering high-quality mitigations to protect our customers' infrastructure from these exploits", he said.
Also, the company didn't share any specifics of the Spectre Hardware Fix for Intel chips and it is not known if the Spectre Hardware fix will impact the performance as the BIOS and OS patches have slowed down performance to varying degrees based on the chip.
In terms of guidance, for the first quarter of 2018 Intel said it's expecting $0.70 per share, give or take 5 cents, excluding certain items, on $15 billion in revenue, give or take $500 million.
Spectre and Meltdown have been rocking the CPU landscape over the past couple of weeks. "Compared to the expectations we set, our revenue was stronger, our operating margins were higher, and our spending was lower", commented Bob Swan, Intel chief financial officer.
