I don't think minimizing the significance of the exploit should happen in the headline, but saying "x86 CPUs" instead of "Via CPUs" in the headline is very clickbaity.

"Via x86 CPUs" would be perfect. It conveys detailed information to those with detailed knowledge while still being understandable to those less familiar with tertiary cpu manufacturers.
