What I do not understand is
Why they put a spectre vulnerable CPU that was not in production (ARM Quote that no effected CPUs were in production) when the Spectre issue became piblic? Was it because they would have had the throw then in the bin otherwise?
Personally I would have preferred they stuck with a53s with the same RAM and SOC I/O throughput and didn't call it a desktop replacment just because it is atleast as vulneable as an intel desktop.
