It's in the article, but the [actual development report](http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2013-09-devsummit.html#Security) explicitly states this, alongside some other items.
Stanford, CMU, Penn, MIT, and SkyWater Technology reached a major milestone by producing the first monolithic 3D chip manufactured at a U.S. foundry, achieving the highest density of 3D chip wiring to date and delivering speed improvements of an order of magnitude. Engineers from Stanford University...
Broadpwn: Remotely Compromising Android and iOS via a Bug in Broadcom’s Wi-Fi Chipsets

> Intel Management Engine is a proprietary technology that consists of a microcontroller integrated into the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip and a set of built-in peripherals. The PCH carries almost all communication between the processor and external devices; therefore Intel ME has access to alm...
So if you can't read the article, the microcode updates have flaws, and Intel is now telling big companies not to apply them.
Abstract: "Widely used complex code refactoring tools lack a solid reasoning about the correctness of the transformations they implement, whilst interest in proven correct refactoring is ever increasing as only formal verification can provide true confidence in applying tool-automated refactoring to...
Abstract:
> Modern Intel, AMD, and ARM processors translate complex instructions into simpler internal micro-ops that are then cached in a dedicated on-chip structure called the micro-op cache. This work presents an in-depth characterization study of the micro-op cache, reverse-engineering many u...
