Which, now that they are known, can be fixed in future iterations of the technology. Just because Intel won't (or can't) fix their damn products doesn't mean that others won't.

People who already have Intel CPUs in production aren't just going to turn off hyper-threading, either, regardless of what we say about whether or not future products should support it.
