I don't think throwing intel out entirely is a solution, but rather, diversification. What if there later comes out another vulnerability granting arbitrary code exec given a specific bytestring in memory, which only intel processors are immune to? Better to have as many as possible of as many different CPUs as possible. Just like, e.g. backblaze has done with HDD manufacturers.
