Hi Jerry
About why Intel is vulnerable to Meltdown and AMD, while Intel basically
licensed the x64 instruction set from AMD the actual implementation of
those instructions is completely different.
The instruction set for x86 and x64 is targeted at Complex Instruction
Set Computers (CISCs) h
Hi,
When applying fixes to IllumOS/OpenIndiana to fix the Meltdown
vulnerability forcing the separation of Kernel Memory from User Memory
into separate Memory spaces, please make sure that the code detects the
CPU type. My Dual AMD CPUs are not susceptible the Meltdown so I do not
want to tak

Intel posted statements with a little more detail after the embargo broke:

In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Intel hardware, Richard L. Hamilton...:
Given how broadly Spectre might be applicable, I'm surprised that
there's no mention of at least investigating the possibilities on CPUs
other than Intel, AMD, and ARM - like SPARC, Power, or for that
Thanks for the info Russell.
I'm curious about the AMD thing though. My understand had always been that Intel had purchased/leased/whatever acquired the x86 64
bit extensions from AMD. Maybe its all the difference between the "meltdown" and the "spectre" vulnerability though.
Sparc, unless
Hi,
Lots of information, out there after the embargo was partially lifted
(all the details have not been revealed).

While Meltdown may be specific to Intel, I would not assume that SPARC would be
immune to Spectre. Perh

Do you mean to sparc?
