Most of the people who write these articles for review sites do not really understand CPUs in depth. They know how to run benchmark suites and talk about new features mentioned in Intel's marketing material. Most of these people are writers, not engineers. If they were experts they could make a lot more money working at tech companies instead of working for review sites.
In fact, I would bet that most professional software engineers could not correctly explain Spectre, Meltdown, and Zombieload without making at least a few mistakes.
