Meltdown affects Intel chips. I think Core 2 for sure, Pentium 4 unclear.
FWIW, there is a Meltdown exploit available for testing.
I'd take the test with a grain-of-salt. I've run in on both i7 and Core2 (both of which are supposed to be affected) and it reports not vulnerable in both cases. I'd be interested if anyone has had it report vulnerable?
