Meltdown affects Intel chips, Spectre affects Intel, AMD, and ARM chips.

Spectre likely affects any chip with speculative execution, regardless of vendor, even things like Power8. So that's fun.

"We have people everywhere" - Mr White.

Did Google name it Spectre after the the James Bond movie?

And I thought AMD put out a release saying they are not affected.

I imagine it was named Spectre because it's going to be haunting us for years to come.
