What's most insane about the new Intel issue is that "full mitigation" requires disabling HyperThreading on HT-equipped CPUs. Say goodbye to a good chunk of your performance if you want to be 100% safe against this. This is going to fuck up our datacenters at work. We have multiple servers that are only able to handle their full loads due to HT, but we have sensitive enough data that by client contract we will have to apply all security mitigations.
