"... A total of eight new vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs have been reported to several researcher teams to the manufacturer, which are currently still kept secret. All eight are essentially due to the same design problem that the "Meltdown and Specter for Dummies" section details - they are, so to speak, Specter Next Generation...":
