Default About Meltdown and Spectre weaknesses

Kernel-memory-leaking Intel processor design flaw forces Linux, Windows redesign

Every computer relying on an Intel x-86 processor is concerned (at least if less than 10 years old).

But also the machines with an AMD processor are concerned.
So that means users of Windows, Linux and Apple machines.

The flaw is related to the kernel memory system.
To make the processors quicker features were added which consists in anticipating the next instructions.

This results in having a rededesign of Windows, Linux, Apple Os (for computers) and Apple iOs (for mobiles).

Windows is preparing a major update.
