I fully understand the approach. And I guess, to wait is the only possible and feasible solution.
But I have a question:
When it comes to the Spectre and Meltdown Disaster - (while we’re now waiting on the 8 “Next Generation” Vulnerabilities) one seems to be for sure:
In opposite to AMD, Intel decided to give a shit on security in their preemptive prediction pipes, optimizing solely on speed, ignoring safety in a irresponsible way, to keep an anyhow overwhelming market share. This generated a pretty unfair competition situation against AMD . By sacrificing security Intel always seemed to have the faster CPU’s.
So I ask myself, why do you want to support such attitude by staying with Intel ? Why AMD is not considered as an alternative ?
