Intel Skylake/Kaby Lake processors: broken hyper-threading

This should not be surprising. All modern CPUs are filled with bugs, just as all useful programs (excepting DKK's and DJB's) are filled with bugs and security holes. You only worry about the ones causing problems right now, because there isn't enough worrying capacity in the world to cover them all. You are much more likely to die from a car accident or cancer than to suffer much from a CPU bug.

But wouldn't catch me depending on one, no sirree.
