Spectre is a microarchitectural attack on any CPU that does speculation and uses data caches, regardless of architecture. Arguably, it has been handling Meltdown and Spectre in a much much more humble and transparent way. See https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update/compiler-support-for-mitigations https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update/compiler-s... for work they are doing with the compiler communities to address the Variant 1 both on current and future chips.
