Ha-ha. My chip's too old to be affected. I don't see my architecture on the list.

I knew putting off upgrading for around a decade would pay off. (Windows Update tells me my PC is not "ready" for Windows 11 due to its hardware, either. Oh no, whatever shall I do.)

Dont the older chips suffer from a greater performance drop from spectre and meltdown vulnerabilities?
