Are you saying this couldn't happen on whitelisted CPUs? As a hardware engineer, I don't see how you could expect that. You couldn't possibly guarantee this without information the vendor won't give you (detailed timing models w/manufacturing variation).
What's your mental model of the failure mode you're going to catch? The reason a competent CPU engineer is going to tell you this is useless is that their model of what might fail will expect that you get no new information from running the test even on thousands of chips.

Interesting, so if I test 1000 chips, and they all fail, your saying that it's still safe to make this security sensitive?

Come on, do you want to have a discussion or score points? Seems like you're more interesting in just scoring points?

What specifically are you expecting to find out about overclocked branch behavior when you test 1k overclocked chips from Intel?

That if all 1000 fail, that we shouldn't make the security of millions users depend on it?
