> The article doesn't claim to break all the isolation mechanisms of the processor like Spectre/Meltdown. Why should we compare this paper with Spectre/Meltdown? That was sort of my point, we shouldn't be making that comparison but further up in the comment chain that's exactly what was being done. The paper itself is great and definitely should exist. But it's not a counter-argument to "yet another Intel attack surfaces" either.
