Is Skylake Core i3s are prone to Hardware Vulenrabilities?

[CRWND_12]

Do you think that core i3 from Skylake is prone to hardware vulnerabilities?

[Arika]

This is such a vague question.

 

Every single CPU in existence is prone to hardware vulnerabilities, some of them we know (and have already had mitigations put in place) and others we have yet to discover. That's just the nature of such complex pieces of hardware.

I think the better question is "Are there any known hardware vulnerabilities on skylake core i3"

 

And the answer is yes.
