Re: What's Not Mentioned .....
CPUs used to plug in.
Now they are BGA. So only patches, firewalls on servers, script blockers on Browsers are the overall solution.
Smart TVs: Don't connect to Internet, they mostly won't get updates.
IoT: You don't want them anyway.
The mind boggles as to how this will get sorted. Though Intel is a USA company, so maybe they'll mostly ignore it.
Years ago I thought "Out of Order Execution" was a performance boost at too high a cost. Debugging and timing issues. Messes up Real Time OS, where predicted speed /timing is more important than raw performance, "Out of Order Execution" causes jitter on physical I/O timing unless you have HW timer support and/or HW buffers with own IO CPU etc.
