Speculative but maybe workable fix
Could this be fixed in some cases by putting an auxiliary piece of hardware into the CPU slot such that the auxiliary sits between the CPU and the slot then either the CPU instructed to reroute requests away from the vulnerable part of the CPU toward the auxiliary hardware so it can perform the vulnerable parts task for it or the auxiliary part used to filter out malicious code before it reaches to the CPU?
My thinking is that this might allow more efficient processing than a software fix or buggy update to the CPU, and might be less costly than CPU replacement.
