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

Meltdown also affects some ARM chips according to ARM itself: https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update

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

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.
