I don't know about that. Going to https://meltdownattack.com/ it reads.... Which systems are affected by Meltdown? Desktop, Laptop, and Cloud computers may be affected by Meltdown. More technically, every Intel processor which implements out-of-order execution is potentially affected, which is effectively every processor since 1995 (except Intel Itanium and Intel Atom before 2013). We successfully tested Meltdown on Intel processor generations released as early as 2011. Currently, we have only verified Meltdown on Intel processors. At the moment, it is unclear whether ARM and AMD processors are also affected by Meltdown. Notice the last sentence. And how about https://www.windowscentral.com/all-modern-processors-impacted-new-meltdown-and-spectre-exploits ? Unless there is a significant performance hit isn't it better to just be safe and make it for all? -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly
