Nobody said "just buy a different CPU" anywhere in this discussion or the article. And they are pinning the root cause on AMD which is completely fair because they are the source of the issue.

Given that the fix is within the memory allocator, there is already a relatively trivial fix for users who really need it (recompile with jemalloc as the global memory allocator).

For everyone else, it's probably better to wait until AMD reports back with an analysis from their side and either recommends an "official" mitigation or pushes out a microcode update.
