Sad day in a row of sad days for users of Intel CPUs today.
I always assumed that software was going to kill us one day, but I never considered that hardware might be there first.
@andrioid It looks like a train wreck
@sam @andrioid More intel CPU vulnerabilities have been found which appear to enable arbitrary data exfiltration. Also the mitigations for spectre which they have tried only make things worse. So it looks quite hopeless for Intel. Some rushed kernel patches have happened, but its said that they may incur a 10% performance penalty on top of the existing spectre one, and still not be a conclusive fix.
