Microsoft’s Windows and foreign database programs also sidelined as Beijing favours Chinese hardware and software
Among the 18 approved processors were chips from Huawei and state-backed group Phytium. Both are on Washington’s export blacklist. Chinese processor makers are using a mixture of chip architectures including Intel’s x86, Arm and homegrown ones, while operating systems are derived from open-source Linux software.

Every CPU that uses speculative execution (so basically every modern CPU) is potentially vulnerable to those kinds of attacks.
