That is a pretty complete list.  Where did you find it?  I thought I was home free with my FSB processor, but it is on the list.

I find it here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27431/Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-File

Microcodes updates released for Linux and maybe soon for Windows. All listed CPUs will receive microcodes but not all will be patched for Meltdown/spectre flaw. please read notes included in intel download.

Well said! As this might be very bad for cloud services providers and critical infrastructure, targeted by APT attacks, normal user won't likely see this used against him. Vulnerability is too sophisticated, and too many hardware/system combinations to care about, especially when it's enough to make fake Facebook lookalike site to gain what's needed.. Spam campaign, ransomware - this are easier are far more profitable. So if anyone has a skill to exploit the flaw, I guess he'd rather be attacking big organizations to massively obtain credentials, rather than targeting Your Mom.

Personally, my old machine has AMD processor, so meltdown is off and spectre is far less dangerous and is said to be affecting AMD under very specific circumstances. I don't even bother checking if my CPU is on any list.

And hey! Spectre affects some ARM devices! So i hope y'all will get updates for your home routers, smart TV's and other IoT devices, yes? No. Probably not even your one-year old Android phone.

here the list, 2371 CPUs affected.
