What I find most disappointing is that even processors manufactured TODAY contain these flaws and have performance hits put into the firmware.
Alternatively: if you don't care about timing side-channels (which is true in a lot of applications where the only code being run is trusted, such as with HPC clusters and the like), you can run at full performance, and if you do, you can load the microcode to increase the security at the expense of performance.
