Are the effects cumulative...?
Just curious about the current impact being specific to individual issues here (the 2 for Spectre and 1 for Meltdown).
At the moment, people are talking about it as if it's always going to be one fix for all. Is it possible to eventually just patch one aspect and not be hit as hard?
In a brief moment of insanity, I wondered if that's what the Intel "mitigated over time" might mean. Instead of just thinking it means "customers will just buy replacement kit", which is probably a lot nearer the actual meaning.
