Re: Intel has serious product issues
with a bit of sympathy for engineers at Intel, I think much of this may have just "not been thought of".
Now that the genie is out of the bottle, they should just confess it and fix it.
As for branch prediction stuff, how come THAT isn't saved/restored with task state or thread state switching? OK performance hit, but still... not THAT bad compared to the security, and maybe a "fast bit" to turn it on/off in the OS?
