Christopher Domas: Hardware Backdoors in X86 CPUs
This is a HUGE wake-up call.<p>It really is incredible to see that a third party apparently has discovered a genuine backdoor in a production CPU with completely independent research. If that's within reach for a standalone researcher, what secrets lie in well-funded organizations at the nation level?<p>Perhaps this will bring further mindshare to the RISC-V approach in the future?
