- The new class of vulnerabilities in Intel processors arises from speculative technologies that anticipate individual computing steps.
- Openings enable gradual reading of entire privilege memory contents of shared processor (CPU).
- All Intel processors from the last 6 years are affected, from PCs to servers in data centres.
This sounds just like Spectre/heartbleed. Haven’t we learned our lesson with speculative computation? I guess not…
Well you know what they say, if it was a bad idea 10 fucking years ago, then let’s do it again!
i mean just look at the performance hits with speculative execution off
With massive OOO pipelines, what’s the alternative?
Intel has not learned, still making money on crap chips.
