Finally my current CPU is old enough to not be vulvernable...

This has become such a sad joke at this point we're even considering replacing Intel servers with AMD ones at work. It would actually save us money when we don't have to buy vendor support just to patch the firmware every time a new Intel vulnerability is discovered.

Intell is on the roll. Nothing is going in their favor lately.

I was going to give my 4790 to me nephew, not I feel guilty in doing so.
Looks like a ryzen 2600 will be it.

CVE score at least of 7.9, good job Intel!
Nice to have an escalation of privileges to take control over AES data... https://plundervolt.com/doc/plundervolt.pdf
This is serious, it is at least a CVE score of 7.9, on a hardware component (which need BIOS patching) involving at least 5 generations of intel core processors. Spectre wasn't serious, but this is: easy to trigger, easy to replicate, easy to code and once is done the attacker has full access to everything, no software can help this, only a firmware update. What could be worst? A version with remote target or lower privileges required.

Intel more holes than a 20 year old pub dart board.

when looking at these report....
its looks bad with all these vulnerability report on intel cpu, yet i have to read someone really successful using the exploit in real world, that infecting few dozen user PC
when that happen it will obviously get red-flag, not only "yellow-ish-flag"
and again people think the OS(windows) itself, or even the user itself complete free from exploit ?
if yes, then why till now, there still lots of people getting scammed ?
in the end there nothing perfect, everything exploitable
it just for user obviously we prefer "safer" product.... but if we realize it again that "safer" one is just like the word said, "safer" aka. more-safe than other, and Not complete/perfect-safe either
