Page 154 says nothing about Intel. Kindly stop feeding the FUD.

Check the next page. Page numbers are not always reported faithfully on all PDF readers.

Besides, a 150+ page document of processor bugs and arcana is hardly FUD.

I second that. CPU bugs are the worst you can have. Means that are able to provide insight into instruction space of common CPUs are more valuable then your average particle collider.

I assume OP is meaning p156 (title slide, author slide, +154). That said, is this not so new news?

Here's the page for all who wondered.

Within the context of the prior and subsequent pages, it appears to be talking about AMD.

It's the page after that. And, no, it doesn't seem to be AMD when looking at the side of the grey bar censoring the vendor.

It's page 155 and they've blanked out the vendor.

The bar is too short for Transmeta and too broad for AMD. It could well be Intel, judging from their other slide using Intel in the same location and font.

The length of the bar tells you nothing, as it simply covers the "(redacted)" text underneath.

The bar is just the right width for "(redacted)", I wouldn't read into it.

Presumably it hasn't been disclosed yet which systems are affected?

155 probably
