If CPU manufacturers were held accountable like everyone else then we would have better CPUs. Reason? They wouldn’t be so ambitious in using hacks which cause these vulnerabilities in the name of performance.
If they were held accountable then Microborg would be out of business, and so would Intel and AMD if everything stays the way it is.
Meanwhile, if they were held accountable point 1 applies AND we would have more secure CPUs with the same performance which is my second point.
But the legal system sucks and has tons of loopholes so this will never happen in even the sweetest of my dreams. :sigh:
