In this way, it seeks to avoid possible attacks using Meltdown or Specter, or some of the variants that have emerged over time. It is the first generation to incorporate them, as was officially announced in the presentation of this new generation.

In addition to introducing updates to the software and microcodes. Thus, various vulnerabilities can be fixed, such as Specter V2 (Branch Target Injection), Meltdown V3 (Rogue Data Cache Load), Meltdown V3a (Rogue System Register Read), V4 (Speculative Store Bypass) and L1 Terminal failure.
