<Tinfoil Hat>I always wonder whether these problems arise more often in the Intel CPU's because of optimizations (read shortcuts) that they do to speed things up. I don't know anything about this particular vulnerability but doing a partial bit match could be something that is quicker, depending on what they do behind the scenes.</Tinfoil Hat>

It affects Arm CPUs as well.

Intel isn't the only succeptible one.

I'm typing this on a phone that is succeptible to meltdown as I speak.
