TL;DR on ZombieLoad: this is like L1TF, where the CPU is using "garbage" data during a fault instead of coercing to zero (except here it's data instead of addresses). It seems this is pervasive problem class across the design of Intel CPUs, not just a single instance.

I am lucky enough to have non-hyperthread, four core Intel CPUs on both of my desktops (Linux and Windows), an i5-4590T and an i5-7500T. Though not that common, they exist. Not saying this solves every Intel problem, of course. But some people need to buy Intel for other reasons.

Well if losing all performance (that you paid for...) provided by hyperthreading is an option, then most BIOSes allow you to disable hyperthreading AFAICT.
