    Speculative execution seems to be an unending source of woes, especially for Intel (but not just them.) Not all that surprising considering how hard it is to not leak eg. timing information accidentally, but you’d sort of expect that CPU manufacturers would have learned from the N+1 previous speculative execution vulnerabilities. Then again, they’re in the business of making faster CPUs, so it’s not like they’ll just swear off speculation forever
