Defect reported in Intel chips

[Phil]

In Intel’s defence, the article cited below is neither the least biased, nor an entirely un-sensationalized (to coin an Americanism) account. And the articles highlighted at the bottom of the page are even worse. That an industrially-accepted architecture turns out to have an unforeseen vulnerability does not mean that Intel is being two-faced about the need to try to fix the problem.

On the other hand, my mid-eighties BBC Microcomputer suffers from none of these problems, and boots up in two seconds.
