Re: Another nail in the coffin of x86?

As with the previous post referring to "not good enough", it's worth mentioning that it appears a lot of reverse engineering at a really low level took place. They picked Intel, they showed the vulnerability. Point made.

Now it's up to them later, or somebody else, to figure out how to make this work on AMD, ARM, etc.
