WELP; looks like I won't be doing Intel CPU-based builds anymore?

.....................................
we should never have tried to move beyond the 68K

THAT IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I ASKED FOR

...no not that (though sending a dead CPU to the press for review is rather shitty)

THAT'S the fuckup

The flaw exists in all AMD CPUs made since 2006, but aren't fixing anything newer than stuff from 2020

Except people who are still using Ryzen 1000 and 2000 CPUs are still fucked.

I am beginning to see why ARM is looked at as the future of computing. Also, I'm still waiting on ASUS to deploy the update for the motherboard! How do I light their arse on fire via Ethernet to get it done?!

I might be a little grumpy because the hernia's flaring up again. Goodie.

Are you sure ARM is the future of computing

...Are you fucking kidding me?! Oh.. fucking hell!

And I didn't even touch on how downright cagey the manufacturers of ARM CPUs are. I dare you to try and find an actual datasheet for Qualcomm's latest ARM offerings! Now compare that to uh... Intel. Who doesn't even ask for an email address to download both books for the 13th/14th gen Core CPUs.

It's in the official datasheet, Errata: RP2350-E9, p.1340
The "fix" is either to do hacky software workarounds or "don't do this". Damned shame, this was looking to be an interesting and useful part! Though, most of them got used up for DEF CON:

Still no word on an actual fix. What the hell.

Remember the incident that started all of *gesturing at above chosts* this nonsense? WELL,

We finally have an actual fix!

In technology there is a relentless drive for Faster, Better, Cheaper. Of the three we often get to pick only two. Then Intel revealed the Itanium and told the world to pick NONE. This is due to a deep, fundamental design flaw in the entire architecture as a whole, but most people don't completely understand what it is, why it is important, and how Intel managed to get it so, so wrong.

Today on Education Yourself, we will be looking at the mechanism that makes processors as fast as they are, and how Itanium messed it up so badly that it is now the laughing stock of CPU design.

Recently, Gravis made one hell of a dive into the horrible abuse of the BIOS to make a bootleg hypervisor, and then went even deeper to find truly cursed usage of forbidden processor features. User DecayWTF had a few things to add to this, and I wanted to add on further, but... well, I didn't want to hijack the thread. I've been putting this off for far too long, and now I'm going to finally get around to doing something I said I was going to do a few months ago.

Welcome to the first installment of my article series called "Education Yourself". This series aims to highlight the weird, failed, obscure, and interesting aspects of computing and technology history, usually in an entertaining tone with a short-ish length. I might go kind of fast, but I do hope that you get a kick out of this, and learn something new along the way. So sit back, relax, and prepare to be horrified when I tell you that your modern Intel or AMD x86-64 CPU... is not x86-64.

Am I perfect? No I'm just a wolf. I'm also not one that has looked at leaked internal docs or broken blood-oath NDAs either, so I wasn't 100% sure about some details. I'm going to use this to highlight some new information that has come to light, and add in one more thing that I forgot to add into the original piece, but looking back... where would I add it? Eh.
