It seems as Spectre still haunts Intel and AMD processors after cybersecurity researchers found new working speculative execution attacks.

To improve their performance, modern processors try to “guess” what tasks to do next. Speculative execution attacks abuse this mechanism to trick the computer into leaking private information, like passwords or other sensitive data, while it’s working ahead of time on the wrong guesses.
