I mean, I'm not much of a tinfoil hat, but this article feels extremely conveniently timed for Intel, who is currently going through a massive ordeal with their chips. Especially considering that the vulnerability is so extremely difficult to exploit that there's borderline no story here for 99% of people but the headline will still drive clicks and drama.
Was there a real user risk to any of the flaws since heart bleed? Or did people mostly want to hate on Intel? I'm no tinfoil hatter either I'm just asking questions.

13th and 14th generation Intel processors can be physically damaged and degrade over time on the latest issue from Intel.
Yep. Reminds me of when ubiquiti damaged the radios on the unifi pro through dodgy firmware.
We ended up replacing them all just in case because we didn't want customers affected
The Intel issue is far worse because they're not even patching it quickly, and it is slowly frying cpus
