Spectre is much scarier than Meltdown, from my understanding, because it represents a whole class of strategies that lack a single fix, even at the hardware level.
- earenndil 9y agoMy understanding is that it's not a bug of unintended behaviour, but rather a problem with the specification, all behaviour is as intended, but we need to have different behaviour. Which means that basically we need to get a new ISA -- or a new version of an existing one -- and transition everything to it.
