Except most low end chips (mostly ARM) are immune.



Insofar as they are immune, is it because of some sort of foresight and/or better engineering practices, or because the immune chips are simply cheaper, less sophisticated designs?

Hint: The fact that ARM ranges from "completely immune" to "affected by the less-common Meltdown" gives away the answer.
