Yes. Spectre is the scary one. Meltdown is practical to mitigate in several ways but anything affected by Spectre is basically hardware that needs to be trashed.

Which is annoying because it means 20 years of processors need to go down the drain, if what I'm hearing is correct. Though I'm also hearing it requires a program run on the system to get any of the necessary access. So it's less an issue for individuals than Clouds.
