so both desktop and server chips are affected on both cpu manufacturers products. can't take any measures if your password is online on some server.
I was going to say, AMD had a flaw of similar severity. And they won't have a fix for a few months for most affected CPUs, and that fix will likely incur a loss in performance.
Basically it sounds like both of these flaws are due to the security chip. I can't help but feel like these flaws are by design. /tinfoil
Downfall was disclosed to Intel a year ago but was on embargo until this week. Can't help but suspect that Intel waited for AMD to be impacted by a similar event to reveal downfall
From what I’m reading, Inception is a pretty minor vulnerability, especially compared to downfall.
