AMD Security Announcement on Fallout, RIDL and ZombieLoad Attack
AMD today responded to yesterday's news about the new serious Intel processor vulnerabilities. In this announcement, they confirmed that their processors are not susceptible to this kind of vulnerability.
Yesterday, researchers announced three new security exploits – Fallout, Rogue In-Flight Data Load (RIDL) and “ZombieLoad Attack”. Based on our internal assessment, we believe AMD products are not impacted by these new threats.
Below is our public statement, which you’ll also find available here.
At AMD we develop our products and services with security in mind. Based on our analysis and discussions with the researchers, we believe our products are not susceptible to ‘Fallout’, ‘RIDL’ or ‘ZombieLoad Attack’ because of the hardware protection checks in our architecture. We have not been able to demonstrate these exploits on AMD products and are unaware of others having done so.
You can read up all about it in this whitepaper, titled “Speculation Behavior in AMD Micro-Architectures.”
AMD Security Vulnerability – The Day After - Seems Financially Motivated - 03/14/2018 06:20 PM
It has been a day after the news broke on the acclaimed AMD Security Vulnerabilities. In this news-item, I wanted to recap and report on the current status and overview, as well as my look on things....
AMD Security Statement from CTO and SVP Mark Papermaster - 01/12/2018 03:30 PM
AMD have updated their web page and clarified a bit more on speculative_execution vulnerabilities with some additional details on current state of affairs and AMD actions....

You AMD fanboy's realize, this vulnerabilities have been around since 2008 or something and no one has been attacked due to it.... now there are actual patches out in software and soon micro code updates. Safer today than yesterday.
But go ahead, make a mountain out of a ant hill and enjoy your lower performance AMD in every application.
I am not a fanboy but I can clearly see one where there is one , have a good day .

Yes that's right , it seems that the small performance advantage comes at a price ;-)
Seems to me like Intel may have been "ignoring" security in the name of speed.

I laughed at this - nice to be 100% , then x 3 , well your mentally a winner
Only mental gymnastics around is on your side.
With AMD you get lower per core performance, low efficiency interconnect, lower performance in games and productivity software.
Entire bold part stands on term AMD and on final admission of shifting comparison to bizarre place by stating that you intentionally compare cheaper solution with quite more expensive.
Edit: Lol, man put quotes in quotes or at least make sure that it is somehow properly linked to person who wrote it.

You made me laugh as well for the wrong reason - Amd are so, so, so, behind in what? Even if I could afford their most expensive CPU, my logic would tell me another 5 - 15 fps and in other apps in the real world, you would hardly notice. I bet most gamers are still on 1080p, why do you 180 .... fps .
Now i will add the word lower! LOWER prices

Go ahead and enjoy your poorly optimized games in 720p with Intel.
For me, I'm experiencing the opposite with Threadripper in applications, and I max out 3440*1440 in games.
