Meltdown is the main (and far easier) exploit which is the real concern, and is the one that'll slow down our CPUs upon patching. A lot of shilling for Intel going on right now, even from some reputable sites who are not differentiating the 2 exploits to make it appear everyone on earth is vulnerable. This is absolutely false.
