Are any of these “vulnerabilities” actually being exploited as of this date? And by whom?
Or is this an attempt by the chip makers and OS firms to force some hardware/software turnover through scare tactics?
How many of these “vulnerabilities” are actually discovered outside of an OEM R&D department?

I suspect that these ‘flaws’ are just more backdoors that the NSA forced companies like AMD and Intel to build into our devices.
