MIPS is not vulnerable to either Meltdoown or Spectre.
- binarycrusader 9y agoSPARC isn't vulnerable to Meltdown either (based on public statements by Oracle and my own understanding of its address space separation).
- trynumber9 9y agoAnd how did they achieve that? MIPS says their only high performance CPUs are vulnerable to Spectre. https://www.mips.com/blog/mips-response-on-speculative-execution-and-side-channel-vulnerabilities/ https://www.mips.com/blog/mips-response-on-speculative-execu...
- DSMan195276 9y agoIt's the same way with ARM. A fair amount of CPUs simply don't do out-of-order or speculative execution to the point where they could be vulnerable. And of course, if they can't do that then there's no way they could be vulnerable to Spectre or Meltdown.
