I was going to say, AMD had a flaw of similar severity. And they won't have a fix for a few months for most affected CPUs, and that fix will likely incur a loss in performance.

Basically it sounds like both of these flaws are due to the security chip. I can't help but feel like these flaws are by design. /tinfoil
