They should have mentioned that in the first line of the github readme, not burried deep down in the text.
Buried? Deep down? The fourth paragraph, clearly labeled "Affected Systems", a minute or two into the read.
Opening with the title "hardware backdoors in x86 CPUs" is quite misleading, though.
We have shorter attention spans now.

And some intentionally write clickbait headlines even though the have the skills to do better.
They knew what they were doing by not including "VIA C3 CPUs" before the fourth paragraph. Come on. It should have been in the title.
