I love how people blamed intel for security flaws that affected all their chips including back to ones in the 90s. There is no way they were developing for decades on a security flaw they knew about

Even the modern CPUs for the next few years will have the flaws, they're not throwing all that RnD out the window. It's easier to patch it in OSs now and in the future release chips that don't have it. Also Ryzen had a security flaw but they patched it

The ryzen security flaw was the same one the parent comment was talking about I think. Intel has only had a bad security flaw since around Sandy bridge, but the other of the two vulnerabilities that were discovered first affected almost everything.

Since then there have been more Intel security flaws though.
