I don't understand what you are trying to say, sure Intel has bugs and more recent ones from the FDIV bug, there was hyperthreading bug in Skylake and Kabylake CPUs - which were fixed by microcode update.
The problem discussed here is probably hardware related and we hope it could be fixed with a future microcode (AGESA) update. Workaround it in software (the rcuo threads fix) would be nice but since it doesn't fix it for 100% of the cases, it should be investigated further. Intel Skylake hyperthreading issue took around 18 months to be fixed in microcode, so I can wait for a fix from AMD. But we need a confirmation that a. they have reproduced the issue and are looking at it and b. that it can be fixed with microcode update.
