Meltdown & Spectre Information and Discussion

[Searchernow]

Sorry, I meant to add:

tweaktown's list, reportedly an official Intel list, is shown below.
My netbook (32 bit, Win7 Home Prem) doesn't give "series" - just Atom N450, but looking at the Atom wikipedia entry, my date of purchase Feb. 2011, logo sticker etc. then the series is N (obvious now) so appears not to be on the vulnerable list, as you suggest!

"Intel has finally released a full list of all of their processors that are open to the Spectre and Meltdown security flaws, with virtually all Intel CPUs at risk.

The chipmaker has worked closely with AMD, ARM Holdings, and multiple operating system makers in order to push an industry-wide approach to fixing this problem.
Intel will soon have an update for 90% of their processors, something that should drop in the next few days.
