We know CPU based vulnerabilities like Meltdown and Spectre since 2018. Now Intel came out with new propose scalled 'SAPM' memory type to protect against Meltodwn, Spectre, and the other speculative execution attacks

Catalin Cimpanu has the story at ZDNet, as the tweet below suggests. But it's a 'whistling in the dark' – just a theoretical paper.
NEW: Intel proposes new 'SAPM' memory type to protect against Meltodwn, Spectre, and the other speculative execution attacks
-no silicon prototypes yet
-only a theoretical concept
-adds hardware-based mitigations
-Intel hopes SAPM is future-proofhttps://t.co/qvxHX0PgmI pic.twitter.com/jmAUjCDL80— Catalin Cimpanu (@campuscodi) October 1, 2019
No prototype on silicon – let's see, whether I still see a practical implementation.
