The idea of "buying a washing machine to remove chips" may seem outrageous, but given the skyrocketing prices of some chips, it may be economically cheaper than buying from some reseller. In theory, many of the chips found in home washing machines can be used in many manufacturing industries, including automobiles, and the technology for recycling semiconductors is well established.
Researchers have discovered a microarchitectural flaw in Apple's Silicon chips that could lead to a data breach, but they say there is nothing to worry about right now. The flaw exists in the Data-memory dependent prefetcher (DMP) in Apple Silicon chips. DMP determines what memory content to prefetch, a technology well known in academia but not yet deployed in commercial products.
