"Which systems are affected?" – "All systems." – "Come again?"

- Symmetry 9y agoIf you're using an in order processor, a Nexus 9 tablet say, then you should be safe.
- Symmetry 9y agoI wasn't thinking straight last night. Basically all in order application processors use speculative execution.
- blattimwind 9y agoEven a low-power core like a Cortex-M7 can do some speculative execution through its branch predictor. Though of course a M7 isn't running VMs, and probably isn't running any kind of attacker-controlled code (scripting included - its there, but rare), so many of the vectors aren't present.
