According to the website, it's likely that any intel processor from 2011 onwards is affected.

I'll verify my laptop, but my desktop is an AMD processor.

There's a flaw in any Intel processor since at least 2011 that allows data to be leaked from side-channel attacks.

I have an X200 laptop, which has a Core 2 Duo on it, which was made in 2008 or around about that time.

In short, it's another error, along the lines of the Spectre and Meltdown debacle a year ago.
