Or how this is all being talked about after those NSA/CIA exploits were leaked by some dude walking out the front door? Hmmmm --- End quote --- I highly doubt this is a case of government conspiracy. Most likely CPU engineers focused on making computers faster and not on security. |

BTW: This was reported to Intel, AMD, and ARM on June 1st (by Google!) It’s been 7 months since. They’ve had a stuff-ton of time to develop a new patch, or a BETTER patch, and, as well, the case of the Intel CEO selling all of his stock WAS absolutely insider trading.. Smfh |

>AMD becomes the new CPU giant and has a monopoly over all loving kill me |

Most of this is hardware level flaws in the way branch-prediction and caching works side channels and these kinds of exploits have been a known attack vector for a while, until this proof of concept, no one did it tho can't wait to have to REDESIGN every cpu since pentium. this is what happens when you take speed > security |

Smfh --- End quote --- only one of the exploits is patchable IIRC the rest rely on the chip in the CPU that predicts where jumps in the code, you can't update that |
