Should truth-in-advertising laws require OEMs to stop advertising hyper-threading, e.g. 4C/8T on new hardware, if the advertised feature is not fit for purpose?

My personal opinion is "not yet".

Give intel some time to cope with this newest set of vulns, see if they can find a way to re-enable hyper threading safely, and if they can't and are still advertising hyper threading, then start going after them.
