Possible.

Nice.

Those vulnerabilities don't affect normal users.

>planned obsolescence
That'd be a correct theory if they released a superior product to switch to, but they didn't. Their next CPU will still be vulnerable with some more mitigations, but the problem will still be there.

Counter argument: Intel aren't releasing hardware solutions fast enough for the vulnerabilities for this to be called "timely".

Same shit with a rebrand and a few bugs fixed = new sale

They've hit the limit on the tech in general and CPU is dead in the water.

Once the market flatlines with everyone holding on to their old CPUs and boards that perform the same as the "new" ones they gotta come up with more bullshit to get people to buy new ones. E.g fixing "Great big gaping security holes! xD"

No, you don't understand.
It's pointless for them to release a new bunch of CPUs with fixes for a group of exploits if another group or two or three of exploits have already been released.
If you're going to buy a new CPU because of the exploits then you're going to wait until you've got hardware solutions for all the major exploits, which will be never at this rate (or buy AMD instead).

>alright engineers, design a venerability that can only be fixed by downgrading performance 8% and in 10 years we will reveal it!

it's not a theory unless you have evidence to back it up you flaming fucking shit rock. it's a hypothesis

vulnerabilities are a combination of not giving a shit about security in exchange for more performance and built-in backdoors to NSA and Mossad in the management engine

Or maybe Intel is just having more security vulnerabilities found because they have a much greater marketshare > AMD, and therefore more exposure.

Na.
These vulnerabilities aren't being targeted at any brand in particular. People are thinking up these possible attack vectors and then testing them with PoC code to find what processors are vulnerable.
Intel keeps getting tripped up, is all.

No, the fact is that Intel bets on those vulnerabilities never coming to light, because their designs can improve performance at the cost of security.

But those patches, even in hardware for new CPUs degrade performance.
It's not useful to do this, since it doesn't widen the gap for upgrading, it's still going to be the same size.

>if you make a shit product and make your customers switch to AMD, you win

No the fact is that Intel has many customers and by many i mean like 4 right 4 vulnerabilities fmnow? So 4 ways to get info out of the processor so lets see
>USA
>Britain
>Switzerland
>Israel
Yeah that makes sense
Oh wait cant forget about KGB.

Microcode deals with a lot of these concerns.

It also likely has a bigger performance penalty than dedicated silicon and there's little incentive to minimize that penalty given they make no money patching 5 year old chips

>theory: Intel is hardcoding vulnerabilities into their CPUs and allowing them to come out on a timely basis as planned obsolescence

yes goy, it's planned obsolence. we're not spying on you.

I still don't have a reason to upgrade from 4770k, performance-wise. It's already flatlined.

They based their entire company around a dead end tech. What do you expect? They literally painted themselves into a corner.

So you think computers was just a temporary thing? Please tell me more.

Dead end doesn't mean temporary. There's only so many transistors you can fit on a single chip before you get diminishing returns. We've begun to reach that landmark. Hence the addition of extra cores and various gimmicks to work around that problem. The only course of action left to businesses it to change setups so much that users are forced to "upgrade" just to get a new feature that isn't actually needed. Basically migrating sideways to something with a new name.

this
that's why they don't have a easy way out of this shit either

It's not computers in general. x86 is.
We should have moved on decades ago.

I doubt it.
By having vulnerabilities discovered that affect their CPUs only, and not the competitors, they lose reputation. The average person who is aware and wants a way out of this shit will just buy from another brand.

someone's insecure of having a big nose.

I would say likely. Put a bunch of back doors in for themselves and the countries they are selling to. Years later it comes out that you put the back doors in. Call it one thing while then claiming to "find" all kinds of exploits and vulnerabilities that have never been used outside of governments snooping on people. It also follows a pattern. The first set of vulnerabilities targeted raw performance of chips which makes sense since there is so little difference in performance even with much older chips. The latest one targets hyper threading. It's almost like they want to scare the people who have no reason to upgrade their older hardware.

X86 is a mess but not a problem - why change?
Remember x86 have been the performance leader for longer than most users here been alive. Still is.

((((((((((((THEY)))))))))))))))) paid them to gain access to majority of computers when needed

yeah to allow people to upgrade to AMD

that's a great theory you have

Fixing these side channel attacks involves developing a new microarchitecture. That'll cost Intel millions of dollars.
