Downfall attacks targets a critical weakness found in billions of modern processors used in personal and cloud computers.

Looks like another Intel specific CPU issue. Be on the lookout for the new microcode updates

This seems much more exploitable than Meltdown/Spectre.

I wonder when fully libre/open source CPUs will appear. Maybe then we'll just reprogram the FPGA in our CPUs and things like this will stop happening.
