Meltdown and Spectre present 3 different ways of attacking data protection measures on CPUs enabling attackers to read data they shouldn't be able to. Unfortunately this affects every intel CPU since 1995 and the fix will slow windows down by as much as 30%. AMD processors won't require this fix thankfully, but many pieces of software are in the process of being patched to fix this.
