This is a nice soundbite that I guess could sound good to someone who doesn't understand hardware at all but doesn't address anything I said.
So after testing 1k chips from Intel, what do you know? If you have some knowledge of CPU internals and talk to Intel verification folks, your prior (IMO) should still be that they're the most likely to have this kind of issue.

After testing 1k chips, if all 1k failed under load, I would say we need to insist on a more specific cpuid whitelist, maybe consider design changes, and get feedback from the vendor? I really think this is pretty reasonable.

If 1k out of 1k failed under load, the chip never would've shipped in the first place, you're never going to see that. The linked bug is contemporary with the NaCl thread. How come the CPU vendor *most likely to have issues like the one you describe* is one of two whitelisted?
