See https://millcomputing.com/topic/security-on-mmooo-processors-is-hard/ https://millcomputing.com/topic/security-on-mmooo-processors... and https://millcomputing.com/topic/meltdown-and-spectre/ https://millcomputing.com/topic/meltdown-and-spectre/ The Mill has portals (possibly) gating everything and making microkernel design easy and fast, so Meltdown would not work. Spectre, not so sure, there are claims the NaR (not a result) option might prevent it. I bet this will come up in the next talk, looking forward to it.

Honestly I'm just thinking if there was a moment to break into the CPU market...I'd say this is it. Half the planet is going to be looking for architecture updates which can be proven to be immune to this type of vulnerability. I'm sure not going to be buying any new CPUs till some new arch's come out which remove this (or make the mitigations performant).
