Smaller capacitors will keep their charge less long, which makes this more difficult, but I understand that there are no fundamental mitigations.

The fundamental mitigation is full memory encryption using a randomly generated key that changes each time the CPU boots. That exists for some CPUs.

There's (T)SME.
