If you, like me, found MDSTool hopelessly complex to read, this is an attempt to dicipher it from somebody who knows a thing or two (not everything mind, feel free to correct me).

This is an infographic (...in MSPaint) I made from a 9900k perspective fully mitigated and on 1903. Enjoy.

It was made and 5 minutes in mspaint and was intended to be nothing more than a guide / starting point. I see no reason to worry.
