Is the Samsung S8 CPU also affected? I saw that some ARMs are not affected.
EDIT: It appears not the be on the list of affected ARMs [1]. The S8 Exynos 9 Octa 8895 is based on the Cortex-A53

EDIT2: The Snapdragon 820 and 835 do appear to be affected which are the CPU in the US version of the S8
- JoachimSchipper 9y agoAssume that [EDIT: high-end - dogma1138 is right] smartphone-class processors and above are affected. Raspberry Pi and microcontroller-class ARMs are fine, though (but much slower!)
- dogma1138 9y agoMost of them aren't affected mid range ARM and below aren't vulnerable, basically if you have a flagship product you should worry. If we take the snapdragon example the 6XX's aren't affected while the 8XX are.
- mrpippy 9y agoIt looks like the Exynos 9 Octa 8895's 4 main (big) cores are a custom Samsung architecture which is almost certainly out-of-order, and is probably affected. The "little" cores are Cortex-A53, which is in-order and not affected.
