I doubt it, based on TFA it looks like it has more in common with multi-issue pipelining and ooe than speculative execution.

[mhh__]

Isn't the whole point of OOE that the design is inherently speculative otherwise there's basically nothing to dispatch?

[snickerbockers]

Not necessarily, there are still situations where the order can be optimized which don't involve branches.

There's a lot of processor state in each core which would be a great place to hide exploits when the microcode is assuming synced operation between cores.

by TFA you mean the fucking article?

why swear? not I have a problem with it

[Cthulhu_]

I don't get it either, seems to be a HN culture thing. I get it when people reply to people who haven't read the article (like in RTFM), but it's often used unsolicited and IMO unnecessary.

[snickerbockers]

Technically you're the only one here who did that.
