I wager it will be hacked in under a year.

Nobody's claiming it's "hack-proof", that would be foolish, just that it removes certain classes of vulnerabilities that are the majority of CVEs for code written in memory-unsafe languages, thereby reducing the attack surface. Independent analysis by both Microsoft and Google has shown that's around 70% of vulnerabilities, which still leaves around 30%, but is a big step forward.

Not OP, but that's not how I interpreted their comment. I interepreted it as the 70% they hope to have fixed will end up having edge cases not yet considered, and the protections will end up weaker than desired. No-one designed a processor to be susceptable to spectre and meltdown, once something moves into production there is significantly more incentive to investigate and find these flaws.

There are no CVEs related to Solaris SPARC Application Data Integrity, or Unisys ClearPath MCP.

Either they aren't interesting for hackers, or they actually did a good job with hardware memory tagging.

I might imagine the former over latter
