Honestly, I find buzz like this to be extremely bad taste. It is trivially simple to post links like that on HN and wait for the "ha, Intel, this is how you should have been doing things!!!1".
If this bug is really present in all chips since 1995, then where have all these people been for the last 22 years? If they're so competent about CPU design, why haven't we seen literally tens of Intel competitor startups pop up and succeed?
