CPU bug wars update: the latest attack against AMD CPUs just leaks memory access patterns. This is basically inherent in how caches work. It's not even a speculation attack. Intel still has the lead in designing CPUs that give up all their secrets *by design* in speculation.

The fact of the matter is Intel designed their CPUs under the clearly-flawed assumption that anything that happens in speculation stays in speculation, and with absolutely no concern whatsoever for defense in depth (i.e. stopping bad/illegal things early, not late)

That stinks of top-down company culture driven by ignorant managers. I'm sure Intel engineers knew about the possibility of things like this happening and were told not to do anything about it (until it became a problem).
