"Additional
funding was provided by generous gifts from Intel" I want to know more ! Was Intel tired of this team finding a new CVE every 6 months they sent free AMD gears ?
Edit: Intel is funding some of the Graz students (to work on anything) https://mobile.twitter.com/lavados/status/123608333055623168...
Google has Project Zero (a team dedicated to finding exploits in competitor products). The end result is safer products all around. I think it's better that your competitor finds flaws in your products and use that for self promotion than a 3rd party selling exploits.

Project Zero is not limited to their competitors. They've discovered several in Google products.

The recent CacheOut attack was funded by a "generous gift" from AMD. :shrug:
