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.
