Is that directly related to Spectre/Meltdown?
Is that microcode fix somehow better than mitigations in the kernel?
I wonder if it will allow AMD to catch up even further (even though AMD CPU were also affected).
- BeeOnRope 5y agoWell Spectre (not Meltdown) is a broad class of bugs, and whether something is Spectre or not often just comes down to whether the author chooses to put their side-channel attack in that bucket. That said, I don't think this is related to any of the named Spectre variants.
