The new three Spectre vulnerabilities were discovered by a team of researchers from the University of California and the University of Virginia. According to their study, the micro-op cache present in the current CPUs like Intel and AMD has recorded vulnerabilities.
They also predicted that a costly performance penalty could happen when the low-level fixes are implemented. Despite strategic procedures to mitigate them, these vulnerabilities can easily infiltrate these processors.
