Whatever scarce details that has been hinted, it does not sound good in any way at all.

It also doesn't say how far back into history the design flaw goes back to. Ivy Bridge? Sandy Bridge? Westmere? Nehalem? IIRC, given that Intel's fight back from the dead seems to have started way back with Core, I wouldn't be surprised if those are the first chips to be affected.

And just as importantly, which new gen of their CPUs will start featuring a proper hardware fix / new design to avoid this major security issue?
