Re: Meltdown and Spectre - Additional PTFs released -- MIDRANGE-L

for what are power7+ I found:

Systems 8412-EAD; 9117-MMD; and 9179-MHD ONLY
AM780_094_040 / FW780.81

which mentions the CVE for the meltdown and spectre issues.

I recall reading that IBM will be releasing FW patches for older hardware “later”

Bryan,

I was reviewing the firmware link, appears Power7 is excluded, is this correct?
