'You can now jailbreak your AMD CPU' — Google researchers release kit to exploit microcode vulnerability in Ryzen Zen 1 to Zen 4 chips

Interesting choice of words; "jailbreaking" is something the user does to advantageously overcome limitations placed on a device by its manufacturer. What does jailbreaking my CPU allow me to do? Turn it into a brick if I'm not careful. Potentially turn it into a different CPU? (Shades of Crusoe.) Change its identification numbers?

Cool! I'd love to see what custom microcode comes of this. Especially in relation to the speculated backdoors on CPUs

Yeoch, another security vulnerability to worry about. Apparently a bios update has already been released you can install to fix it.
