So Intel was telling the truth that it wasn't just Intel but also several non-Intel CPU's being affected.

They were telling half a truth, they're affected by the worst variant and they are affected in a worse way. So, more like bullshit deflection than truth.

The funny thing is that all of the tech articles that I'm reading state just the opposite of what you said.

Meltdown, which affects all Intel chips, has already been patched. While being the most exploitable bug, it seems it was the easiest to handle. Updates are going out already. 

Spectre, by all accounts, will be the most difficult to deal with. It will require a fundamental redesign of processors. A fix for Spectre may not be available until a new generation of chips are on the market. It's not going away tomorrow or the next day, or next year. This can take many years because it's hardware. I would say that this is being "affected in the worse way."

Intel was being truthful.
