Intel reports wave of high-severity GPU vulnerabilities — ten unique security vulnerabilities stemming from poor software hit range of graphics solutions
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Everyone with any Intel graphics solution should be sure to update their drivers this week—the tech giant just announced ten new security vulnerabilities affecting a wide range of its GPU drivers and software. Nearly every Intel GPU or integrated graphics going back to the 6th generation of Core processors is affected by one or more of these vulnerabilities, which can be addressed by updating to the latest Intel graphics drivers. The laundry list of vulnerabilities coming from Team Blue all require local access to take advantage of, greatly downgrading their importance to the average user. As the saying goes, if a hostile attacker has local access to your system, you have bigger things to worry about than side-channel attacks. But a group of vulnerabilities affecting Intel's entire graphics operation, going back to Skylake CPUs, is no laughing matter. "Improper access control" for graphics software and drivers is the most serious repeat offender on the list. The vulnerabilities allow for escalation of privilege, denial of service, and information disclosure attacks. The integrated graphics software of every consumer CPU release since 6th-gen Intel Core, all Iris Xe and Arc GPUs, and Intel Data Center GPU Flex 140/170 GPUs are affected by one or more vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most recent drivers. Every user using drivers released after October 2024 is already protected from the vulnerabilities. This great wave of security holes immediately follows another Intel security event. Earlier this week, researchers at ETH Zurich found a new way around Intel's fixes for the data-leaking Spectre v2 vulnerability, prompting its own round of advisories and fixes from Team Blue. Intel's CPU architecture is consistently plagued by side-channel and branch prediction attacks like Spectre, with its hardware and software fixes prone to being maneuvered around. The CPU vulnerability discovered by Zurich also affected a wide swath of Intel CPUs, though the attack also requires local access and, according to Intel, has no real-world applications yet discovered. Intel advises anyone with an affected CPU to consult their system manufacturer for BIOS or microcode updates. Intel's software weaknesses seem like a perennial issue for the tech giant, yet another problem weighing on the company in danger. Intel recently announced that its Intel Foundry program is not expected to break even until 2027, another issue for the company which has had multiple waves of layoffs this year. Intel's future is uncertain, making its proclivity for security flaws and vulnerabilities all the more serious.

2 No-Brainer Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy With $200 in March
The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) has tumbled 3% year to date, and that slight decline has created some no-brainer buying opportunities. The market reacted too pessimistically to the latest reports from Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD). Investors can now buy one share of both stocks for less than $200. Here's the bull case for these artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) develops semiconductors across four main end markets: data center, client (personal laptops and desktops), gaming, and embedded processors. The chipmaker generates most of its revenue from central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs), also known as AI accelerators. Last year, AMD gained about seven percentage points of market share in x86 CPU sales at Intel's expense. It gave a particularly strong showing in the client segment, where its Ryzen processors took over eight percentage points of market share from Intel Core processors. But AMD also kept its momentum in the data center segment, where its Epyc processors took four points of market share from Intel Xeon chips. AMD reported reasonably strong fourth-quarter financial results, exceeding estimates on the top and bottom lines. Total revenue increased 24% to $7.6 billion, and non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings increased 42% to $1.09 per diluted share. But the market punished AMD for missing data center sales estimates, which itself was due to worse-than-expected results in its AI business. The stock has tumbled 16% since the report. That creates an opportunity for investors. While AMD is unlikely to take much market share in AI accelerators from Nvidia, simply maintaining its position should still result in strong sales growth. Grand View Research expects AI accelerator spending to increase at 29% annually through 2030. Indeed, AMD CEO Lisa Su said on the fourth-quarter earnings call that AI accelerator sales will increase from $5 billion in 2024 to "tens of billions of dollars of annual revenue over the coming years." However, the market may be disappointed with AMD playing a distant second fiddle to Nvidia -- so much so that the stock looks downright cheap. Wall Street estimates AMD's earnings will grow at 35% annually through 2026. Yet, shares trade at 30 times earnings, which gives the company a price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio below 1. This means that now is a good time to buy a small position. The Trade Desk is an adtech company that provides an independent demand-side platform (DSP) to media buyers. Its software leans on AI to help clients automate, optimize, and measure data-driven campaigns. Its independence (meaning it does not own media) is a key advantage because it eliminates the possibility of bias. Put differently, whereas Alphabet and Amazon have a clear incentive to steer media buyers toward platforms like Google Search and Amazon Marketplace, The Trade Desk avoids conflicts of interest by not owning ad inventory. That company has exploited that facet of its business to build mutually beneficial relationships with publishers. For instance, The Trade Desk sources data from many of the world's largest retail companies, which creates unique measurement opportunities for advertisers on its platform. Indeed, CEO Jeff Green says The Trade Desk has "the most advanced data-driven decision-making platform" in the adtech industry. Frost & Sullivan ranked The Trade Desk as the leader in its most recent DSP report, awarding the company better scores than competitors like Alphabet's Google and Amazon. One reason for the high rating was the company's strong presence in retail advertising market, which itself is due to its "growing roster of retail partners." The Trade Desk reported disappointing financial results in the fourth quarter. Revenue increased 22% to $741 million, missing the $756 million forecasted by management, and non-GAAP earnings increased 44% to $0.59 per diluted share. Green attributed the revenue shortfall to a "series of small execution missteps," and he detailed changes the company has made to address the issues, including injecting more AI features into the platform. However, the stock tumbled 42% since the company reported earnings, creating a no-brainer opportunity for patient investors. Wall Street estimates The Trade Desk's earnings will increase at 15% annually through 2026. That makes the current valuation of 42 times earnings look expensive. But I think analysts are wrong for two reasons. First, Wall Street underestimated earnings by an average of 8% during the last six quarters. Second, Grand View Research estimates adtech software spending will increase at 22% annually through 2030. As the largest independent DSP, The Trade Desk should be able to match that pace. That's why patient investors should buy a small position today.

Will your business survive the switch to Windows 11 in October?
In less than 10 months, an estimated 240 million Windows 10 PCs will be rendered useless when Microsoft stops support for Windows 10. This new reality will create many unexpected problems and expenses for South African businesses. Planning ahead now by finding an alternative IT strategy can make the difference between a seamless transition or disrupted operations and affected profit margins. If you are a business owner or run a company, then you understand that technology is an essential operating cost. Only by ensuring employees have access to the necessary hardware, software, and IT infrastructure can they effectively execute daily deliverables. Technology also enables good customer service experiences, ensures production schedules are met, and effective operational management – almost everything in the modern business world has an IT component to it. Surprisingly, often when businesses think about essential technology needed to run successful operations, they think of hardware. Laptops, servers, desktops, and printers are readily included into the annual budget. However, the importance and impact of software costs – especially upgrades – are often underestimated or overlooked. Without the right or most up-to-date software, hardware simply can't operate. While this may seem obvious, businesses are constantly caught by surprise when software purchases or updates are needed. There are several reasons for this, mainly because it's quite difficult to predict how much budget should be allocated towards software maintenance. Rising software costs are also contributing to this budgeting challenge. According to Statista, IT spending on enterprise software amounted to around $913bn in 2024. A bleak picture for millions of businesses Where some software technology is purchased following an extensive approval process and approved budgeting plan, there are instances where companies have no say in the matter. One such example is Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system. On 14 October 2025, nearly 240 million Windows 10 PCs will be rendered useless when Microsoft stops support for Windows 10. This grim outlook for the public is even worse for the business world, as 400 million enterprise workstations running Windows 10 PCs can't make the upgrade. Understandably, this restriction creates many short and long-term problems for millions of businesses. At the core of this problem lies legacy hardware. Business computers require specific hardware requirements to upgrade. Supported processors are 8th-generation and newer Intel Core processors as well as AMD Ryzen 2000-series processors and newer. Essentially, this means that computers that contain processing chips produced before 2017–2018 can't officially run Windows 11. Imagine running a business, facing a pressing and unmoveable deadline, and being caught by surprise when the entire company's laptops stop being supported by Microsoft and receiving bug fixes, security updates, and technical support. Unfortunately, this will be the reality for many South African firms in less than 10 months. A window of opportunity for businesses The Windows 11 debacle highlights two things: Having access to the latest software is a business imperative, and purchasing technology such as laptops can be a very costly decision when compared to a rental asset finance solution. There are several reasons why purchasing IT hardware is expensive: - Purchases and upgrades place strain on a business's cash flow. - Equipment depreciates over time and becomes obsolete. - Asset requirements constantly change over time. - Managing asset inventory can be time consuming. - Asset disposal can be costly. Founded over 25 years ago to address this business problem, RentWorks has grown to one of the largest asset rental finance companies in South Africa. Today it provides IT rental asset finance solutions to hundreds of companies across the country, who benefit from RentWorks' flexible finance solutions to access the latest technology without the expense. For RentWorks customers who have opted for a rental agreement, upgrading to Windows 11 doesn't pose the threat to their businesses as it does to others. By simply upgrading their current laptops or desktops for newer models, RentWorks customers avoid the extensive capital investment and operational downtime that many other companies will experience who have purchased IT equipment.
