What console of the current generation comes with an Intel CPU?

And in any case the Meltdown patch is not too bad for games.

PS4 and XBox One are running AMD CPUs (albiet x86-64 arch) this generation and the Switch is NVIDIA (ARM Aarch64).

The Switch appears to be based on ARM cores that are vulnerable.

Will this aid homebrew communities in their efforts to run unsigned code on the PS4, xbone, Switch et al?
I suspect not, but I could see it used to discover future vulnerabilities. Read access to all of memory is pretty powerful.
