 that is an overblown meme that has no chance of working in real world environment.

Sure, as long as you have no untrusted VM's in your data center which is, uh, what cloud services have, uh, pretty much all the time.  
  
 But no worries, along with disabling hyperthreading from the previous vulnerabilities, you just disable virtualization and then Intel processors are perfectly safe. 
  
 The question to you is: what system operators are going to deploy Intel based servers at this point?
