Good question! I found this site that's selling plenty of older Intel processors: https://www.intel.com/buy/us/en/catalog/components/boxedproc...

If that's not old enough, there's also this: https://ark.intel.com/products/series/79666/Legacy-Intel-Cor...

But if you want a processor without this fix, then you're in luck: from what I understand, all modern Intel processors don't have this fix yet. And they're very well supported by motherboards.

And by the time the current crop of processors becomes unavailable, I suspect newer processors will be much faster than anything currently available.



That legacy site only goes to Q1'06. But Spectre/Meltdown affect those and even older CPUs.
