They are obviously dumbasses. This is very clearly shitty design and not a deliberate backdoor. It's piss poor as a backdoor.

Ditch the conspiracy theories. Spectre v1 affects all CPUs because it affects CPU design as we know it and is taught in schools. It's an academic failure of the field of CPU design. It's not a backdoor.

Look, no offense but I don't have time for conspiracy bullshit. Believe what you want, but if you're going to pester me with it I'm just going to block you. If you know anything about how this whole thing works it's *obvious* this is not deliberate.

If there are "baked in vulnerabilities" they're going to be stuff like secret opcodes/MSRs/whatever, not shitty speculation and side channels that can be partially countered with software defenses.
