I know there are software fixes in macOS, but I want to know when the hardware is fixed. I'd like to buy a new Macbook Pro, but only after the hardware is completely fixed.
The 2018 Macbook Pros have "Coffee Lake" Intel chips.

Various articles say that Intel would release fixed chips in mid 2018, but I don't see specifics.
Did a hardware fix make it into the chips in these 2018 Macbook Pros?

Intel announced via press release that the patched CPUs will be integrated into their hardware in the 8th generation chips shipping the second half of 2018:
These changes will begin with our next-generation Intel® Xeon®
Scalable processors (code-named Cascade Lake) as well as 8th
Generation Intel® Core™ processors expected to ship in the second half
of 2018.
Anything manufactured prior to 2H 2018 will be updated via microcode software patch:
First, we have now released microcode updates for 100 percent of Intel
products launched in the past five years that require protection
against the side-channel method vulnerabilities
Chances are, you have a patched CPU.

Fixing all timing side-channel attacks on systems which use aggressive speculation is still a research topic. But there are reportedly fixes in Intel processor microcode (some in cooperation with some OS fixes) which make some of these side-channel attacks more difficult and/or slower.
