3 days agoSide channel attacks are as old as computing, and the specific CPU variants exploiting speculative execution have not simply occurred on 2018 hardware and stopped since; pretty much all CPU architecture is susceptible to some form of speculative execution exploit, Apple simply is not an exception to the rule, and I think it’s unfair to call them out as somehow incompetent for making the same mistake as literally everyone
Well yes, but newer CPU models such as 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs are also susceptible to these attacks, my points is that Apple is no exception to this vulnerability and should not be singled out for it
