Who actually discovered this security flaw? If I had my tinfoil hat on, I'd say this was deliberately done by Intel and/or AMD to slow down the current generations of processors and make people buy the new ones. But I don't. lol

I'd say it's the guys at Micron PC, to gain larger market share since their chips weren't affected...
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
