Exactly, the low end isn't vulnerable, nor is the the Mill architecture on the high end (see millcomputing.com). The Mill isn't silicon yet, but the architecture is sound (and of extreme beauty). It is an architecture for the Intel sized out there though.
The Mill makes the current OOO look bad (Intel, AMD, others). It is striking to see that "experts", on this page and the writer of the article, act as if it didn't exist.
The Mill can save Intel, or destroy it, Intel decides that. The pos-x86 nears and time is running out. Intel needs a new architecture and RISC-V is only part of the answer.
