"Luckily" most old Atoms will never get mitigations for Meltdown/Spectre :).

So if you're using an Intel CPU today you'll just have to pick your poison.

Luckily, most old Atoms are really simple in-order processors that aren't vulnerable to Meltdown/Spectre.

Running only trusted code on a server is much simpler than on a desktop / laptop: no Javascript in browser.

I was under the impression that they weren't susceptible.

AMD seems considerably more on top of the security game. As for ME, make sure you avoid any system on which it is enabled.

That's just because AMD is the underdog and it not as well studied as Intel. Given the same scrutiny I'd wage it would be as bad as Intel.
