Security researcher and author Kris Kaspersky plans to demonstrate how an attacker can target flaws in Intel's microprocessors to remotely attack a computer using JavaScript or TCP/IP packets, regardless of what operating system the computer is running.
Kaspersky will demonstrate how such an attack can be made in a presentation at the upcoming Hack In The Box (HITB) Security Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, during October. The proof-of-concept attacks will show how processor bugs, called errata, can be exploited using certain instruction sequences and a knowledge of how Java compilers work, allowing an attacker to take control of the compiler.
"I'm going to show real working code...and make it publicly available," Kaspersky said, adding that CPU bugs are a growing threat and malware is being written that targets these vulnerabilities.

Well, here's to hoping that our motherboard manufacturers release prompt bios updates.

If the exploit can be updated via the processor micro code.

Damn, you think you have worries. My left testicle still hasn't dropped yet, and my right one is as big as a honeydew melon. My sperm are so big, you can see them with the naked eye. They have little scuba mask on, with little scuba air tanks, little scuba flippers, with little scuba knives around their ankles. I'm scared to touch myself, because they will stab anything they come in contact with. I'm in prison now, because they killed the last girl I had sex with. So, I don't worry about my chip being hacked, I worry about have a wet dream. If I lose any more, I will have to sit down to pee.

Maybe your sperm micro code can be flashed?
