All other chipmakers are 'immune' to Meltdown precisely because the attack is obvious. Cache timing is hard, but speculating execution before checking permissions is plain dumb.

If it was such a mythical attack why doesn't it work on anyone else's chips? Intel screwed up hard on this and I have no sympathy. Hopefully the incoming lawsuits will make up for the massive amount of money wasted for the performance losses
