it just monopoles the bug-fix to one company otherwise if it was open-source many companies can compete to fix the bug
in the end it is just magic security features so in the end we all can be "save" ,... and "save" in this meaning means that we are save to say that we can not and we should not fix bugs instead we need to obey our masters and hope for an update.
Just like the open source OpenSSL has literally never had a single bug ever.
Yeah -- just like that -- with the one major exception being that OpenSSL code is at least auditable using normal tools while CPU firmware by its very nature is going to be much more esoteric be it "open source" or not.
I'd rather have one undergrad intern at AMD with a modicum of training trying to actually fix the microcode vs. a million Quaridiots drooling over themselves while they chant about open source and do nothing of value.

Yeah first fail happens on my 1700 in 36s and 5 fails within 132s
Not too happy about it
I knew I should never have bought a new architecture at its release.
Next time, I'll wait for the second or third stepping
It doesn't happen on windows so I wonder if a workaround could be implemented in the kernel.
