1. Apparently I don't know how to thread, so here goes my second attempt at blasting you with critical news on this “Intel Chip problem” which is not an Intel problem but an entire chipmaker design problem that affects virtually all processors on the market.

Architecture researchers: having caches be implicit was a decision; it doesn't have to be that way. Perhaps high-speed memories can be exposed in the address space with fixed timings at each level of the hierarchy. (1/4)

Meltdown and Spectre will be a case study in how to totally screw up a vulnerability embargo. I wonder if this will discourage researchers from responsibly disclosing critical vulnerabilities in the future. http://meltdownattack.com/

The CPU vulnerability embargo was supposed to be Jan 9, but due to leaked details and public speculation, Google published about it today. And now it has branded bug website: http://meltdownattack.com/

The one that works against Intel only is Meltdown, and the AMD/ARM/Intel one is Spectre. Read more here: https://meltdownattack.com/ and https://spectreattack.com/

Leaving aside the brilliance of the people that found this Intel bug, may I submit that perhaps coining threat names and invoking cute icons is a gratuitous and disingenuous way to get people to care about an impossibly arcane flaw that they in all likelihood can't do much about?
