Interesting that this seems to say that A-series processors are vulnerable to Meltdown (or a variant of it).
Could this “check later” speculative approach similar to Intel’s explain Apple’s great performance advantage over other ARM CPUs?
- mbroncano 9y agoIt's mostly assumed the refered performance advantage is directly related to the better and bigger caches in the microprocessor. I'd be surprised that their OOO technique is fundamentally different than other vendors.

No. Speculative execution is not unique to Apple's SoC designs; it's present in other ARM cores as well. https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update
