Obviously you can't which is why it was posted here. The intention was to draw users here to test their devices. Hopefully we coul have gathered enough data points to see which devices (if any) could have been affected.

They might have had once, but they are susceptible to sensationalism just like pretty much any other news outlet (especially in its online format) these days.
But people are totally mis-spinning the article. His personal assessment on his X was no change. The featured protagonist was running a 6, which is a three year old phone with significantly dated hardware. And the other reports go both ways (and there are lots of reports of no change or slight improvements here).
Basically, it's hard to take the Forbes story as anything but a collection of anecdotes that prove nothing.

I did, and others are, and lots of people are seeing no performance hits.
I mean the iPhone 6 I updated is pulling the same numbers in geek bench, ~1000 single and ~1800 multi same as iOS 10.3.3.
No change with speed or battery life with 11.2.2 on my iPhone X since the update, and my Geekbench scores are very slightly up (which can vary each time anyway). I still have to update my 7+ and iPads though.
please do NOT read forbes article for your iphone news. they are straight lying.
they probably benchmarked it RIGHT after the update while the phone was doing 1000 things getting all the things together. cmon now, even geekbench themselves said the performance is the same.
nobody gives a crap about Forbes, they all need some sensational claims to drive the ad revenue up

Apparently, 6 is 40% slower in geekbench. Can anyone confirm?

Those numbers look about like what you’d see if the device is being throttled as a result of battery performance.
I got Geek Bench results on par with iOS 10 when benchmarking my iPhone 6 plus, 7 and 12.9 iPad Pro.
So as far as benchmarks go there is no noticeable performance hit.
I am very interested on this possibility. I have an iPhone 6 with 11.1.2. I feel some performance decrease since upgrading iOS 11 (probably because batterygate) so I am very worry if new update (Spectre solution) could hit again and even more the low performance of my poor and old iPhone 6. I always prioritize security against other points. But my current user experience is excessively bad, so if it is even worse than now, I wouldn't update it.
Somebody can give us feedback???????
