Looks like the spectreattack.com overview is inaccurate or out-of-date in that detail, then; at the moment, it still states that "At the moment, it is unclear whether ARM and AMD processors are also affected by Meltdown.". At least the A75 isn't out yet (according to those same articles), so it's not something end users currently need to be concerned about. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
