  1. Which of the following is true and which is false? Is the problem real? Is it just a war between companies? Who knows how to tell us for sure about the problem? Grab the egg and cut it… ..

  2. Classic intel is trying to throw its own problem on other platforms to reduce the damage from bad publicity and of course well done by AMD and ARM who informed that they are not affected by the vulnerability.
    Intel has been making potatoes since last year and with the spokesperson making even more mistakes that anger consumers of their products.
