> Downfall

Is the Intel CEO holed up in a bunker and raging at his chip designers?

If it's anything like the industry that I work in, the CEO would have been informed of the short comings of the design numerous times and given a response along the lines of "does it make our CPUs faster and more powerful though?".

The CEO won't be pissed of at his chip designer, they'll be pissed because they've been caught out.

Given that the AMD vulnerability was called "Inception," maybe they just like using movie titles to name CPU vulnerabilities?
