I also don't think Intel meant to design something like SGX and then self-disclose these vulnerabilities that affect SGX. We didn't see meltdown/L1T/spectre come up in the Snowden or other NSA/CIA hacks, so that makes me believe this was just losey-gosey CPU design. Which didn't happen at AMD and others.

Only a moron would plant backdoors that can be traced back to them. The intelligence agencies are, unfortunately, not run by morons.

In order means you don't have speculative execution issues. Yes we are use to hyperthreading being 2 thread per core. 1024 per core is a completely different beast.
All these speculative execution issues could see the x86 loss the super computer and big server markets.
