When Moore's law is dead, and you have to keep producing better chips every generation, the easiest way is to dunk the old chips. My new favourite conspiracy theory: They design those chips with such vulnerabilities in mind, and when the time is right they "discover it" and offer a fix. New chips, of course, have no such vulnerability. Those will have a new one, discovered 2 years from now.
