With all the recent news about security vulnerabilities in Intel and AMD CPUs, I'd recommend everyone grab an Oracle Free Tier ARM VPS

AMD Inception & Zenbleed VS Intel Downfall
They all sound like James Bond movie titles.

I'm beginning to wonder whether the real race between AMD and intel is who has the most critical vulnerabilities not yet discovered.
On a more serious note: We, the customers are in a way guilty, too. Why? Because most of the problems are the result of a situation (at least co-) created by us: "We want more performance! More! Faster!".
Both being large corporations the outcome was predictable: hastened development, too little reflection, too little math, too little testing (beyond "does the chip meet the spec?"). Plus of course doing it as cheaply as possible; after all AMD and intel do not exist to make customers happy but to generate profit for the shareholders ...
