That depends on the CPU, some see significant impacts, others see none
or were never vulnerable to some of these issues.
There's enough misinformation about this class of attacks without
spreading more...
* new hardware bugs and variant of previous bugs are found constantly,
so we need a new CPU class designed for security. I have read that
some people want to create a new CPU under free license, I think that
is the only solution that we can trust
For those who want to use a computer now, that's not particularly
