Not with those patches, since they haven't been merged yet. The performance decreases that have been reported so far are for Meltdown patches, those new patches are apparently meant to mitigate Spectre.
Spectre affects AMD as well, how have they been handling this?
They might not "handle" it until there is a POC?
