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.”

OOF! Just another reason to be happy with my 2700x

Just give us Ryzen 3k already
But yes... I'm now 100% certain I'll switch to AMD this year. I've had enough.

I was contemplating switching back to AMD on next cpu upgrade. I think this cements it.

As I understand it, 8th and 9th gen Intel CPUs are not affected by these MDS vulnerabilities, as they are mitigated on a hardware level.

Nope, those are NOT mitigated on HW level, re-read research papers again.

Go ahead, switch to AMD, when such overhyped vulnerabilities will easily be patched with microcode update, minimal performance impacts, it is good that research is being done on the matter, and i dont feel any less secure. With AMD you get lower per core performance, low efficiency interconnect, lower performance in games and productivity software. It is definitely not a reason to bash intel over this.

Yes AMD! kick Intel when they are down.
Intel getting just what it deserves for supressing competition and price gouging!
Karma is a bitch!

ZombieLoad refers to Intel's board of directors.

Hell I'll get a PS5 and whatever good desktop cpu and chipset they have next year. Double AMD for me

PS5, new XBOX and a new smokin' Desktop!!
All within a short time here. Just broke it to the wife I'm getting a new build in the CaseLabs Magnum STH-10 with pedestal.
Come on water blocks for the new new from AMD.....
Man this is so upsetting. Just bought tablets (intel based) for the kids. Wife's laptop isn't even two years old... Som'bitch may'ne!!..!!

Facepalm. One of the worse CPU vulnerabilities ever found and you call it "overhyped". I assume you're one of those people that would defend Intel regardless of what they did.
AMD for me next time, no doubt about it.

I was 99.99% sure to go back to AMD after 14 years, but it's more like 300% now.
