I think the tick-tock strategy[0] was still salvageable when these vulnerabilities were discovered, and it would be reasonable to assume that the next tock would fix these. Isn't Intel's 10 nm mass production five years late? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-tock_model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick-tock_model

Spectre was disclosed to Intel sometime in 2017. Skylake (14nm) was the most recent rearchitecture at that point. The 10 nm rearchitecture was most certainly already in development, and may have been too far in to substantially address. I would expect it to be substantially addressed in the 7 nm rearchitecture, whenever that happens.
