the author(s) of the article, completely ignore the cpu itself can be patched. there is microcode underneath the ARM instructions for such scenarios. Look at intel, there has been undocumented microcode for decades I beleive these articles are just hype for street cred.

From what I have read, the microcode on M-series chips is NOT updatable. If this is the case, tsk tsk Apple.
I thought microcode was an artifact of CISC architectures, while the Arm is a RISC architecture.
