Agree with this. One might also (of course) ponder why Intel's stack has been the one primarily under attack so far. You'll find the same speculative rabbit holes as with the age-old platform vs. virii/infected/malware base of course (is it install base size aka sheer numbers, is it someone propping up a competitor/fanbase by attacking the other incumbant, is it companies leveraging their own known holes to push customers to newer platforms aka needing AV software for past debates...?)David wrote: Sat May 25, 2019 2:33 am Where's all the heat sinks, armour shielding and blinkin' colour scrolling lights
Newstack.io thinks AMD maybe not so far out of reach for the hackers also
"While much security research around speculative execution has focused on Intel processors, other processor architectures such as AMD’s and ARM’s also use similar predictive processing techniques and so could be vulnerable to similar attacks as well, pointed out SANS Institute Instructor and Analyst Jake Williams, in a webcast from last year."
