OK, there is definite error on news item. Where to report that error so that it gets fixed? Generally. I commented two times about an error on forums and tagged writer two times, still error still persists.

Meanwhile, Meltdown impacts Intel, AMD, and Arm systems.

Because AMD CPUs make memory access privilege check before execution, AMD CPUs are not vulnerable to Meltdown at all (Intel CPUs are because they do privilege check After execution).
 
This error still exists...
 
Hey there, I missed your first message but the story is now corrected.

Mental note/future reference based on a compilation of previous posts and sources:

  • Meltdown: Primarily affects Intel CPUs and some Arm processors.
  • Spectre: Affects most modern processors, including those from Intel, AMD, Arm, and Apple M1/M2.
  • Foreshadow: Specifically targets Intel processors.
  • ZombieLoad, RIDL, Plundervolt, and Downfall: Mainly impact Intel CPUs.
  • SQUIP: Affects AMD processors.
