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.”

I hope the FXs aren't affected either.

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.
Except with all these issues being patched the performance of my CPU decreases every single time.
Add them all up and it's a pretty bad dent for what i paid for.

The projection is real.
Most of the people you're calling "Intel" fanboys are currently running Intel hardware, sometimes in multiples, and have owned countless Intel products in the past.

Seems to me like Intel may have been "ignoring" security in the name of speed.
