We got a critical hardware level bug affecting two decades of computers on the third day of 2018 I'm scared for the rest of this year.

Here's AMD claiming it's not affected and Google VERY SPECIFICALLY saying it is. Turns out we're all screwed.

Sounds like it's two separate security issues: spectreattack.com/ MELTDOWN is the one that can be patched against and only affects Intel CPUs. SPECTRE is the one that affects all typr processors. There's no fix for it at the moment.

#ontheupside people for whom @creativecloud just barely runs on their machines now will all end up abandoning it en masse when the #Meltdown patch saps 30% of their CPU performance and using #adobecc becomes unworkable - allowing us all to switch to better software #everycloud

the official page meltdownattack.com/ says both attacks affect all processors in one way or another. AMD just isn't too happy about it

I have heard this but I don't see parallels to the move Apple did. I don't know how that works but I know that CPUs are complex as hell and to fix a design flaw using microcode can be problematic and may create other problems resulting in a slower processor.
