If so, is this update/change by TI any worse? If they don't use big enough keys somebody can factor them using amazon cloud for 10 bucks over a period of a few weeks months etc.

I don't understand if this is a new, harder problem or just more of the same.

Wikipedia says the old 512 bit RSA has been factored for more than a decade. I recall reading somewhere TI introducing a 2048 bit RSA key as a response. Unless you have contacts at the NSA or many millions of dollars to spare, I doubt that key will be broken anytime soon.
