At this point I'm just numb to endless barrage of vulnerabilities that Intel keeps receiving. What can even be said at this point.

I've said this before, but Intel needs a brand new architecture to stop these exploits. The Core architecture is fundamentally insecure and these exploits will keep popping up (and patching them is like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound). Hopefully they have something in the works.
This must be good for for their bottom line though. Businesses will order more Intel CPUs to make up for the performance loss from patching their current Intel CPUs, and each exploit leads to more sales. Hurray for Intel! :P

The following specifically states that physical admin access(authenticated local access) is required;

An attack to exploit this vulnerability can not be rendered remotely, IE through a network share or web browser.
I can do alot with all cpus/systems if i have physical admin access(authenticated local access) U better patch me ๐

I think all of this stuff about speculative execution vulnerabilities is much ado about nothing. The most important thing to remember is the attacker must install and run the malicious software on the target machine. If that is prohibited then nothing will happen at all.
Here's my conspiracy theory about these things : after the "sky is falling" announcements, what did people do? Most immediately installed updates on their machines. I think those updates were actually installing backdoors so the NSA and other governmental TLA's can monitor your activities. I have not and will not install any "updates" for this because I consider it to be a non-issue. Especially if you don't allow malicious software to run in the first place. Start there and the rest will take care of itself.

Enthusiasts and blackmarket paid IT wannabes still bragging about Intel cpus for epeen. Intelยฎ needs severe punishment for the last decade of deception, laziness and zero innovation. In AMD we trust!

Here we go again. This is another case where you need to run the exploit as admin and really at that point I think you got larger issues than someone trying to mine the CPU's cache for hidden gems.

Intel's vulnerability list in the CPUs it's shipped in just the past five years seems a clear warning on the perils of milking architectures. Intel is going to have to do what AMD has already done: design an entirely new x86 CPU architecture from the ground up. I cannot see a logical rationale for anyone buying Intel's CPUs at the present time.

eh what ever at this point I dont care, I use my pc to game and visit a handfull of websites, that it
The whole meltdown/spectre flaw open the gates and since then they all looking for security issue to out, and cause panic just to have there time in the news. Should flaws and security issue be fix yes, should they be outed to the public so everyone knows? no it shouldnt it just causing panic and witch hunts.
Even then most flaws arnt even know to majoirty of people nor do they care.

Itโs only a matter of time before Intel CPUs have to be ran with more security holes than Swiss cheese to stay โfastโ.
