Sounds kinda advanced. And kinda evil. I'd say in all this race for speed at cheap prices something eventually got lost. Like, say, quality of implementation.

Lol, AMD is also vulnerable to Spectre. AMD fanboys just like bragging about how their CPU is bigger than everyone else's, and thus deny reality.
So yes, AMD is indeed more secure and way less retarded with their designs. It's just unfortunate tech companies are so incestuous and have to CLA with each other over (possibly) faulty technology.

The big question is if ARM processors are vulnerable to this exploit at all, Cortex-A72 and Cortex-A57 and newer ARM are all using speculative execution so COULD be vulnerable in theory, older ones are using in-order execution so they cannot be vulnerable to this.

Looks like using full ASLR mitigates quite well (but not fully) the issue. Debian has switched to it, just like many common distros. PIE executables are now the norm, not the exception.

Amazon/Apple/Microsoft all have custom ARM chips and more money than everyone else, it would be nice if they stepped in and fixed this mess. (Intel and AMD can't be botherd apparently)
