I feel like this might be a question for @lauriewired Suppose I am running my own local server. I might not want microcode updates that slow down my CPU. The mitigation is a non-issue here. And suppose one CPU is just perfect for my specific case. Market for non-updated CPUs??

@ProgramMax @lauriewired That could introduce microarchitctural attacks such as Spectre/Meltdown, etc, depending on CPU manufacturer and microarchitecture version

@m3M0RyHuN73R @lauriewired That's why I carefully spelled out the scenario and how the mitigations don't matter, despite the small tweet limitation. Spectre/Meltdown don't apply here.
