Does anybody know if this affects the Cyrix and AMD "Pentium Clone" chips?
It certainly affects the Cyrix - both P166+ and P200+. Don't know about the Cyrix MX and the AMD tho.

That's the problem -- it isn't a "bug", just an exploitable instruction set that Cyrix, AMD, et al have been faithfully copying. For that matter, the 486 instruction set is a subset of the Pentium instruction set. Does this affect the 486/386 etc..?
