Cache & Timing Attacks
Cache based attacks on CPUs have been around for a number of years, with Specter and Meltdown being some of the widely known issues of recent times. These attacks use things like execution times or execution order to leak secure information.
In 2016 a team from Graz University of Technology proved that cache attacks are possible on un-rooted Android smartphones, leaving no type of CPU-based digital device unaffected. Because these attacks rely heavily on statistical analysis and repeated loops to attack the underlying architecture of a system, faster machines have made cache and timing-based attacks faster and more accessible than ever.

Power Monitoring Attacks
...Every digital device uses power, and as every 0 or 1 is switched the power varies. This forms the basis of most power monitoring attacks. More sophisticated attacks can be used to retrieve cryptographic keys from devices, but with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), many households now have relatively insecure devices with default passwords installed on their home networks. Even encrypted IoT devices can be identified by their power use signatures, and once an attacker knows what devices you have installed they potentially have a route into your home network. ....
