Hah, that's quite a good one

Perhaps, but it almost seems too obvious and there is a few of the issues mentioned that also affect Intel motherboards. I would guess that it's probably a conglomerate of dodgy stock trading types playing it a bit loose and fast with the rules. The Spectre/Meltdown thing has set the industry up perfectly for the slightest notion of a hardware flaw to throw the stock market one way or the other, playing perfectly into the hands of those with the gumption to manufacture such an event for their own benefit.

When the spectre/ meltdown stuff happened intels response was to pull amd into it even though they were barely affected if at all.
Adored tv did a great video on it all and covered lots of different angles. Whats interesting is from the outside cts labs looks like a run down dump.

He's not biased, he's been very critical of amd as well.
Re: Intel CPU 'BranchScope' vulnerabilities detailed
Just because he's been critical of AMD doesn't mean he's not biased.

I don't think you know what bias is lol

I wonder when hardware level fixes will happen, on 9th or 10th gen chips???

It is an arms race that will never stop as new problems emerge.
Re: Intel CPU 'BranchScope' vulnerabilities detailed
and unsurprisingly countries like Russia have gone to great lengths to set up their own chip production and designs for security reasons. Quite why we haven't done the same I don't know. Letting ARM get sold seems a crazy idea to me, but hey, we have sold off our steel production, power generation, manufacturing and pretty much everything else so why worry about the very things that all our modern day commerce depends on. That would be far too narrow-minded right?
